Title: Pretty bad
Review: Originally written in 1941 this is about a murder at a burlesque house and a bunch of strippers involved with it. The police try to figure it out but Gypsy Rose Lee and the fellow strippers will ahve to figure it out themselves.Needlessly convoluted and pretty poorly written. What's frustrating is that this has some well-written passages and interesting characters but then it just gets confusing and/or dull. Lee was obviously no author. It is a somewhat interesting look back at burlesque houses (which are long gone) and the people who worked them but that can't support the sloppy writing and confusing narrative. This was considered pretty risque back in 1941 but todays it's tame and silly. Some people love this (look at the other reviews) but i found it pretty bad.
Is the review positive or negative?
