"Hoving is a total gossip and a bit of an egotist. Get past the cheesy title and cover and devour the dirt on the institution-building of the Met. Guilty pleasure!"
"After you read this, you'll not be surprised to learn that this book is NOT for sale in the Met book shop! You have consider some of what Hoving writes about with a doubtful eye, but it's a fun and, at times, catty look into the Met pre-Philippe de Montebello."
"As an Art History minor, I thought.. hoped!... that my professional life would be like Mr. Hoving's... but no. He's amazing... perhaps I can come back as him in another life.
Edited - actually, an French lit major/Art History minor. Still not making a living based on my degree, but that's ok by me."
