SEX, DRUGS, HEARTBREAK AND SCANDAL - THE INNER WORKINGS OF A TABLOID NEWSROOMFleet Street Fox's anonymity allows her to delve deep into the dark corners of that most guilty of pleasures - the tabloid exposé. Acerbic, funny, and revelatory, her diaries show the heart within the hack as she tries to recover from a betrayal as devastating as any newspaper scandal.Now an internet smash, with over forty thousand followers on twitter, two hugely popular blogs and a reputation throughout the media industry, Foxy's diaries are juicy, shocking and as near to the knuckle as the lawyers would allow. The Diaries of a Fleet Street Fox tells the truth about her trade: the private scandals, victories and disasters that don't end up on the front page. This is the hardest story she has ever told.

Disclosure I have followed the Fleet Street Fox on twitter and read her blog for a couple of years and chased her for this book having read a chapter or two on the internet... I have to say I have not been disappointed by the final outcome.
It seems strange to say that you enjoyed reading some of the excrutiating details of the breakdown of a person's marriage, but when it is told in such an engaging way you really have to! It is a joy to read the unmasking of some of the goings on in the "Street of Shame" (not her words) that has you laughing out loud many times.
Well woth spending money on

Started off as your typical girly read, however the author seems to just go off on rants about what are obviously personal points of hers eg phone hacking was one of them. On the second rant (not really relevant to the story line) I put this book down and started another. Would not recommend.

Not much Fleet Street
She bores her friends by going on about her ex. She bored me too. I gave up halfway.
This is set in Fleet Street but it might as well be set in any office for the amount... Read more
