Title: Does not do Norma Wallace credit.
Review: Christine Wiltz attempts to weave a scintillating tale of madam Norma Wallace's life in the underworld of New Orleans. She used anecdotes, transcripts of Norma's memories, and previous articles. Unfortunately, the whole thing reads like a list of facts with little style or wit. A story as interesting as this should grab the reader, draw them in, and keep them until the end. Wiltz, however, seemed unable to decide what type of book she wished to write. "The Last Madam" comes off as a mishmash; trying to read like a novel while giving all the facts possible, trying to play around with timeline but without clarity. Generally disappointing.
