Title: tawdry & icky
Product review: Tawdry, icky, and weirdly self-aggrandizing while being self-degrading at the same time (he was bigger than Elvis, and he was a terrible father who also let his career go to hell). The book is rather compelling up through the end of his marriage to Elizabeth, and the rest comes off mainly as a tell-all (and I do mean 'tell all,' with a 'more than I really wanted to know' quality) concerning all the women he's been involved with from one-offs to longer romances. He has little good to say about almost anyone, and Debbie Reynolds gets the worst of it. One thing the book is seriously lacking in is photos. The one photo section has very few pages, although there are some other pictures included at the beginning of each chapter.
