In this amazing book about the cultural revolution of the 60s and the "first" Silver Factory, illustrated with more than 100 bandw pictures- many by Billy Name, Stephen Shore and Gerard Malanga-Steven Watson gives us detailed portraits of the characters who became the original Factory group. He traces their lives from before they arrived at the Factory through 1968, the year Warhol was shot by Valeric Solanas. Watson uses his signature sidebars, sociograms and a detailed chronology to show the vocabulary, quotes and timelines of this avant-garde group. We see the first happening/party of a thousand organized by Sam Green at the ICA in Philadelphia, nights at Max's Kansas City, the Chelsea Hotel or such discos as Arthur or Ondine: the interaction of uptown and downtown, bohemia, society and sleaze. Watson shows how Warhol was always interested in a collaborative process both for art and film. It was Billy Linich and Gerard Malanga who served as his first assistants when he moved into the former factory that became, from 1964-1968, his workplace at: 241 East 47th Street, helping him to produce the more than 500 films, a record, a novel and hundreds of photographs and paintings. These were the years ofWarhol's Death and Disaster series. Flower paintings, Campbell Soup cans, Brillo boxes, Marilyns, Elizabeth Taylors and Jimmy Cagneys and such films as: Ciao Manhattan, Trash and The Chelsea Girls. Into this scene came Edie Sedgwick, the beautiful and doomed blueblood who Warhol made his first superstar; Rotten Rita, Brigid Berlin, and Ondine as well as the drag queens Holly Woodlawn, Jackie Curtis and Candy Darling were part of the silver Factory; from the world of film there were Paul Morrissey, Emile de Antonio, Jonas Mekas, Taylor Mead; from the world of poetry John Ashbery, Alien Ginsberg, John Wieniers; Lou Reed, John Cale, Nico as part of the Velvet Underground-the band associated with the Factory; from the world of art, Leo Castelli, Henry Geldzahler, Ivan Karp; from the worlds of dance and theater, Lucinda Childs, Fred Herko and Play-House of the Ridiculous; from the fashion world, Betsey Johnson and Viva. Watson has written a comprehensive study of early Factory life and documented the vast output of film and art that would come to have an enormous impact on the cultural scene of the 60s and after.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger
