Publisher's summary

Drawing on more than 20 years of interviews, anecdotes, and personal experiences, Uninvited: Confessions of a Hollywood Party Crasher recounts the unique journey of a former Los Angeles Times reporter who, struggling with the collapse of his industry and personal tragedies, falls in with a group of intrepid gatecrashers who routinely pierce Tinseltown’s celebrity party circuit. Author Adrian Maher is the first to chronicle this unique subterranean culture in La La Land - a group of social strivers, ambitious outliers, compulsive risk-takers, and dysfunctional characters seeking access to a famous and exclusive society from which they’ve been banned.

Uninvited uses all the author’s skills as a veteran reporter, television producer, private investigator, archivist, and humorous storyteller to reveal the unseen capers, snafus, and mishaps behind Hollywood’s palace gates against a backdrop of America’s fascination with celebrity culture. And it exposes the personal struggles of an adrenaline-addicted gatecrasher facing perpetual moral challenges, physical dangers, and psychological stressors that culminate in near disaster.

Heading Straight for the Best Seller List!

Witty, hilarious tales of party-hopping through celebrity events in L.A. If you have ever lived in L.A. and especially if your career was catering to the self-important, do not deny yourself the pleasure of listening to this book. This is one of the funniest books I ever read, and I have read quite a few books by comedians. Great narration, master storytelling.

Entertaining as hell - so funny!

Great inside view of the Hollywood party scene. Maher is intelligent and funny, with a soul too. A friend told me this was a hidden gem so I bought it. She was right.

Fantastic!!!

Mr Maher's writing is impeccable, and his performance/reading is mesmerizing. His command of the English language is incredible. I did not want this book to end! I'm eager to read / listen to more of his works.

Insightful and fun

I knew very little about the subject matter prior to reading this book, but I am so glad I listened. The antics and capers described by. The author are sometimes too wild to believe back to real tonight. This is a great read.

Vapid and superficial tripe

The entire story is about a guy crashing Hollywood parties and premieres. Repetitive and one-note, I am so glad I got this for free but I would compare this to potato chips for the mind. Really not good for you yet popular just the same.

Adrian’s storytelling makes this so good!

Great story with lots of funny and interesting details. Without a doubt, Adrian’s reading of his own book makes this great story even better.

So entertaining!

Well written and well read by the author. Fascinating glimpse into this subculture. Being an event planner I could relate to the encounters I’ve had with gate crashes myself and how vulnerable event security really is. I enjoyed the book and would recommend!!
