Babylon Confidential:
A Memoir of Love, Sex, and Addiction
By Claudia Christian and Morgan Grant
Buchanan
Claudia Christian had a starring role
on Babylon 5, a science fiction television series. Now she is coming forward
with her memoirs revealing a whole new side of herself that few others have
seen.
First off since this is a memoir I
will not be reviewing the “story” I mean how can you criticize someone’s life? Second
I had no idea who Claudia Christian was when I was sent this book for review;
they had me at Love, Sex and Addiction. I have never seen Babylon 5 but I did
grow up with a parent who watches anything science fiction, yes my mother is a
Trekkie, she even has the entire series of Babylon 5 so I know what it is.
Luckily for me I didn’t need to know the show to be able to truly get to know
Claudia’s story. The book itself seems to get Claudia’s point across precisely,
however there were times when the narration would bounce around. It wasn’t hard
to follow along so you shouldn’t find yourself lost as you go but I felt it
could have “flowed” a bit better. The only thing that actually drove me crazy was
all the “name-dropping.” For instance she is describing someone and in one
sentence talk about how charming he is and in the next paragraph lists everyone
in Hollywood that he knew, I would have preferred more on their own personal
character rather than the list of their accomplishments. As for that it can be
overlooked and maybe it is a “Hollywood” thing that I missing, otherwise it’s a
great read truly fun and absolutely heart wrenching at times.
