She
also provides a behind-the-scene glimpse at reality TV and the making of
reality TV stars when she discusses, "The Girls Next Door," the
hit series she filmed with Hef's fellow girlfriends Bridget Marquardt
and Kendra Wilkinson. Madison's big revelations revolve around the prickly
Hefner and an overly ambitious Wilkinson. While it was hard to not
roll your eyes with Madison's tendency to portray herself
as just a small-town girl caught up in the Hollywood scene, the book works
as a quick and gossipy read -- ideal for a lazy day.
