There are a few things Peterson says that really rubbed me the wrong way. But overall it was a well-written narrative about a very adventurous life. I was a little too young to know much about Elvira apart from her being tied to spooky stuff somehow. I can definitely better appreciate her status as a cultural icon after learning more about the ups and downs of the character's history, and of Peterson's life.

I'm going to confess: I was going to give this 5 stars even if it was terrible because Elvira. And because I had been waiting for this for so long, I was worried it would disappoint. Luckily, the five starts were earned. It was a total joy to read.
