About this listen
In the vein of Running with Scissors, Playground is the glitzy, glamorous, and surreal true story of a young girl who grew up inside the Playboy Mansion and never learned where the party stopped and the real world began.
You are six years old. Every day after school your father takes you to a sprawling castle filled with exotic animals, bowls of candy, and half-naked women catering to your every need.
You have your own room. You have new friends. You have an uncle Hef who's always there for you.
Welcome to the world of Playground, the true story Jennifer Saginor who grew up inside the Playboy Mansion. By the time she was fourteen, she'd done countless drugs, had a secret affair with Hef's girlfriend, and was already losing her grip on reality. Schoolwork, family, and "ordinary people" had no meaning behind the iron gates of the Mansion, where celebrities frolicked, pool parties abounded, and her own father—Hugh Hefner's personal physician and best friend, the man nicknamed "Dr. Feel Good"—typically held court.
Every day was a party, every night was an adventure, and through it all was a young girl falling faster and faster down the rabbit hole—trying desperately hard not to get lost.
"Totally surreal. This is one of those books you simply can’t put down."—Ben Affleck
“Utterly compelling….It’s one helluva book!”—Larry King

A story you can’t stop listening to!
This story was fascinating, enlightening and really launches you into Hugh Hefner’s world from the point of view of someone who didn’t date him, which takes on its own unique perspective. I really became invested in this story and found it hard to put down!

A Book of Name Dropping
Did I expect a ton of depth from something written pertaining to Playboy? Not much. But this was flat. Overall, too much name dropping created a distraction to an already to a flat story.

Pointless
Nothing is learned. No emotions are explored. Name dropping is embarrassing. Hated this book. She lies to a man about not knowing the daughter she actually watched die like WHAT?
