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

3.0

This books definitely had some very interesting sections. A lot of great facts about the rise of Hollywood. Honestly, I liked the epilogue the most, as I enjoyed learning how each of the story's players moved into the more modern world of Hollywood we are more familiar with today. It took me a while to get into, because the start of the book spends a while discussing characters without justifying why. Takes midway through the book for anything to come together in an interesting way. I became frustrated with the overuse of certain words, including "locusts." What can I say? I'm spoiled by Erik Larson novels. This would make an entertaining film.
