Title: Adequately detailed, poorly written.
Product review: This bio is an acceptably detailed basic account of Gable's life and career, but the quality of the writing is poor; it would not pass muster in even most entertainment magazines. It gives little sense of Gable as a personality or a man, being far more interested in cataloguing his various trysts and affairs. Fans of major Gable films like GONE WITH THE WIND should not expect any significant insight into the making of those films. Behind-the-scenes detail and anecdotes are perfunctory at best. Lacking either craft in its writing or insight into Gable himself, it's hard to recommend this one.
