SynopsisThe shocking, never-before-told story of the bizarre world inside the legendary Playboy Mansion-and, finally, the secret truth about the man who holds the key-from one of the few people who truly knows: Hef's former #1 girlfriend and star of The Girls Next Door A spontaneous decision at age twenty-one transformed small-town Oregon girl Holly Sue Cullen into Holly Madison, Hugh Hefner's #1 girlfriend. But like Alice's journey into Wonderland, after Holly plunged down the rabbit hole, what seemed like a fairytale life inside the Playboy Mansion-including A-list celebrity parties and her own #1-rated television show for four years-quickly devolved into an oppressive routine of strict rules, manipulation, and battles with ambitious, backstabbing bunnies. Life inside the notorious Mansion wasn't a dream at all-and quickly became her nightmare. After losing her identity, her sense of self-worth, and her hope for the future, Holly found herself sitting alone in a bathtub contemplating suicide. But instead of ending her life, Holly chose to take charge of it. In this shockingly candid and surprisingly moving memoir, this thoughtful and introspective woman opens up about life inside the Mansion, the drugs, the sex, the abuse, the infamous parties, and her real behind-the-scenes life with Bridget, Kendra, and, of course, Mr. Playboy himself. With great courage, Holly shares the details of her subsequent troubled relationship, landing her own successful television series, and the hard work of healing, including her turn on Dancing with the Stars. A cautionary tale and a celebration of personal empowerment, Down the Rabbit Hole reminds us of the importance of fighting for our dreams-and finding the life we deserve., The real, untold, and unvarnished story of life inside the legendary Playboy Mansion--and the man who holds the key--from the woman who was Hef's #1 girlfriend and star of The Girls Next Door .

Down The Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison
This was a compelling read. I couldn't put it down until I finished it over two days. It gives real insight into the lives of these women that lived in the Mansion. I can't say I am surprised at the dynamics of all who lived there, the jealousy,the scheming and motivation of greed or opportunity from other women. I did not realize that there were more than the three girls featured that lived in the house at any one time. In fact it was a harem. I am sure there will and has been offense taken by others from what Holly has written as an honest depiction of what goes on and her take on personalities of other girls that lived in the house. But I can see and believe from her account, her lack of self esteem, and lack of individuality (clones) and how that would slowly grind a person down until they no longer had any belief in themselves. I have no regard for Hugh Hefner and the life he lives and how he operates as a man and a human being. All I can say about that is he is a very troubled man. Thank you Holly for a great read and looking forward to reading the next book. I am glad Holly has finally found a true partner in life and has the family she was wanting for years.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Book arrived early, in good shape and as described. There was a faint odor to book but not unexpected from a used book. Would buy from again.

Great Book!
The book gives you a whole other opinion and look inside the Playboy Mansion and the type of intimate details no one knows or would share. It leaves you with a different opinion of Hugh Hefner also, who seems to be a sweet elderly man, but Madison paints him as a manipulative, drama hungry villain. Good read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Girls next door fan!!
I highly recommend this book for the Girls Next Door Fans!! It gives a peek of what went on through Holly’s perspective! Holly, Bridget and Kendra were my favorite Playmates! I always wondered what it was like living at the mansion. I thought those girls were so lucky to be one of Hugh’s girls. Now I think I’ll order Bridget and Kendra’s books to get their views!! This was an easy read if you’re a fan!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

GOOD BOOK TO READ
I REALLY ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK! I LEARNED THINGS THAT I NEVER KNEW ABOUT! MS. MADISON WENT THRU A LOT AT THE PLAYBOY MANSION!! THAT PLACE DOESN'T SEEM INTERESTING AFTER ALL! SOUNDS LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE KNOCKED DOWN, AND RE-BUILT. IS FILTHY INSIDE, AND THE FURNITURE AND CARPETING ARE ALL OUTDATED! I LEARNED THE TRUTH ABOUT HUGH HEFNER ALSO! NOT AT ALL WHAT HE PORTRAYS IN PUBLIC! MY DAUGHTER BORROWED THE BOOK FROM ME, AND SHE REALLY ENJOYED IT ALSO! I AM SO HAPPY THAT MS. MADISON IS MARRIED NOW, AND HAPPY WITH HER FAMILY! SHE DESERVES HAPPINESS AND BE AT PEACE!! THANK YOU FOR A VERY INTERESTING STORY!! MRS. SERNAVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
