As its title suggests, the screen legend pulls no punches in this breathtakingly candid, wickedly withering and frequently hilarious collection of diary entries that offer unvarnished opinions on some of the biggest stars on the planet.
These are Dame Joan Collins' 'uncensored diaries'. Often outrageous, the entries were almost written entirely in real time. Most were done within ten hours of the events Joan describes, and many are hilarious. Whether it is an encounter with a member of the Royal Family, or her keen and honest insights of other celebrities at parties or dinners, Joan doesn't care. She's Unapologetic!
The diaries are intimate and funny, as readers of her column for the Spectator will recognise. It has been eight years since Joan's last non-fiction book, and what could be more fun than opening her diaries, which are as scandalous as Andy Warhol's, and pull no punches - for example, on Donald Trump: "That ungallant schmuck has written something horrible about me in the New York Post saying: 'The last thing I would want to do in real life or on television is to be your lover.' What a gentleman!"

Outrageously wonderful . . . hilarious . . . it is nice to read a book where someone truly enjoys being themselves. She has promised us 'unapologetic' but woo-eee, it is savage. - Camilla Long, The Sunday Times
These diaries are like their author - fabulously entertaining, impossibly glamorous, and utterly irresistible - Piers Morgan
Even with a life as packed as this, can there be anything left to say? Plenty, it turns out, and with great style and an enormous dash of acid. This is a book to read while sipping a stiff drink, ideally with a gorgeous companion on hand to whom you can read out the choicest bits. She puts on a hell of a show - The Times
A fascinating glimpse into a fabulous life. Dame Joan's private thoughts are as brutal, withering and funny as you'd expect - Julian Clary
The inimitable Dame Joan shares her views on the world and her showbiz chums without deference to political correctness - Daily Telegraph

A wonderfully rich and mesmerising diary. Full of insight and revelation - William Boyd
These diary entries are brilliantly candid, with name-dropping aplenty. A rollicking read, packed with wit and old-school glamour - Sunday Telegraph - Stella Magazine
Unapologetic to say the least. Alexis Carrington hasn't got anything on Dame Joan - Tracey Emin CBE RA
Combative and gloriously indiscreet, Dame Joan Collins leaves a trail of walking wounded in her wake with her waspish observations of Hollywood, theatre-land and monarchy. It's why she is showbusiness royalty - Andrew Pierce
What a treat to delve into Joan Collins's diaries; a treat from start to finish - Elizabeth Hurley
Live Joan to bits and was looking forward to her diaries instead it is full of drivel and people you have never heard of. the best bit was when she met her Husband Percy and she found the love. i’d give it a miss
Such an interesting read, full of exciting stories. Would highly recommend to any Joan Collins fan!!!
