Quick Read

This is a quick read about famous actors that had an early death. I knew a lot of the info on some of them but a few I didn’t know anything about. He should write a companion book because there are several more I can think of that I’d want to read about. It’s not very detailed just a quick jaunt through Hollywood and some of the lives lost along the way.

Average

Quick read but pretty sad. Not sure what motivated the author to write this but it is what it is.

Unhappily ever after

I always enjoy Les MacDonald's books, and this updating of Hollywood tragedies does not disappoint. Some of these unhappy endings come with their own mystery, and others may differ from what you thought happened, but Mr. MacDonald is mostly accurate.
