1.0

really more of a 1.5 star. while the subjects themselves are interesting, the author tends to do a frankly wild amount of victim-shaming/blaming, which is very ironic since the book is framed as exploiting the hollywood “machine” for doing the exact same thing ?? the tone was very inconsistent and judgmental at times. it kind of felt like a glorified wikipedia article with the author’s bad takes inserted in. also, what was with the random attack on heath ledger at the end? she says that james dean’s death was more meaningful that ledger’s ever could be. like what the fuck ?? that’s in such poor taste to compare stars by the impact of their death ?? yeah, terrible end to a terrible book.
