Title: I remember where I was when I bought this...
Product review: in a supermarket check out line. Alongside the tabloids. But it was the first Garland biography I had ever seen and so I bought it. For $2.50 I think.The book is not researched, just a lot (a LOT) of published reviews to tell us how wonderful Garland was.DiOrio loved Loved LOVED Judy Garland. It get's boring. Another gay man writing a book about a beloved star with nothing but his emotions to take us through the tale. I wanted to read about Judy Garland. What I got was how Al DiOrio felt about Judy Garland. At least he felt (and feels) about her kindly.The writing of this tome is atrocious. "In September" she did this. "In October" she did that. "In November" she did something else. "In December" she did something else yet again.This is nothing more than a tribute from a fan. No more, no less. He clearly adores his subject, the the subject's story has yet to revealed. A quick read, maybe, but not a great one.
