Review title: Disappointing and poorly written
Product review: I love gossipy (particularly gay) Hollywood trash. Perhaps if I had not read "Hollywood Babylon: It's Back" first, I might have enjoyed "Idol Worship" more, but I doubt it. It is written in a style that simply slows down my reading, frequently having to go back and figure out what phrase was modifying what or wondering who/what the author was talking about. The author is very opinionated, although he seldoms shows the basis of these opinions. Rabbit trails are everywhere. I am still trudging through the turgid prose, which probably would have benefitted from an editor's closer reading before it was published, but I wouldn't reccommend it to friends. Ferguson lost me when he spoke of the "enormity of [Montgomery Clift's] talent." Yes, Virginia, he was very talented, but was he really evil?Just because something is about gay people and probably by a gay person, it still has to follow rules of grammar and content to be good.
