Title: The Worst Book I've Encountered In Some Time
Review: This book is questionable as far as accuracy. For example, I have read several recent books on Judy Garland. Anger states that she committed suicide and he seems to enjoy pointing out that she looked "old..old..." and he inserts a very bad picture of Ms. Garland, then almost makes fun of her "suicide attempt" and how she appeared when she was found. He is very insensitive and trashy in his approach. He seems to list his "facts" with the glee of someone who is bitter after his own failed efforts in Hollywood. I felt embarrassed for him. I also felt that he really does not cover many personalities.I recommend reading "Too Much Too Soon" about Diana Barrymore, which was very beautifully written and was co-authored by Gerold Frank. I also recommend Gerold Frank's book on Judy Garland.
