3.0
I am obsessed with Gore Vidal. This book was going great, easy to read and had me hooked. Then the ending happened. I suppose it was a different time and his editors did have a heavy hand in making Vidal change it up. My edition of the book had both his editors' ending and his original ending. I can't say which is better or worse. A sign of the times I suppose.
