Tinseltown: Murder, Morphine, and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood by William J. Mann

3.0

Decent book that delved into the history of Hollywood and it’s conflicts with censorship. Though the writing style was dry, as most true-crime books are, I would read other books by this author. The one thing that drove me a little nuts was how he spelled “clew”. It’s C-L-U-E. I know that’s a small detail, but every time I read that word I wanted to write the editor. Hopefully it doesn’t happen in other books.

Rating System:
5 Stars: LOVED it, Everyone in the world should read this book!

3 Stars: Enjoyed the book, pretty average. Good weekend read.
2 Stars: The book was a struggle to get through and I have some major problems with it.
1 Star: I hated it. Probably didn’t finish. Wasn’t for me, but may be for someone else.
