About this ebook
The inspiration for the Sofia Coppola film. The true story of the privileged teenagers who stole millions of dollars worth of valuables from celebrities.
With a list of victims that reads like a “Who’s Who” of young Hollywood, including Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, and Rachel Bilson, The Bling Ring is the stuff of writers’ imaginations—with one exception—it’s a true story.
The media asked: Why would a group of kids who already had designer clothes, money, cars, and status take such risks? Award-winning journalist Nancy Jo Sales found the answer: They did it because they could. And because it was easy.
“A great piece of crime reportage,” The Bling Ring is a shocking look at the seedy world of the real young Hollywood (The New York Observer).
“For a satire on America’s modern day celebrity culture, The Bling Ring is hard to beat.” —The Guardian
“Sales [is] a superlative reporter.” —People
“Absolutely terrific.” —The Awl
“Brilliant.” —Grazia Daily

I bought this due to interest in the case, I also enjoyed the movie. Too bad I can't get through much of the book. What I did read was poorly written & it was hard to follow. Wish I would have known. I want my money back.
