I didn’t really know much about Lana Turner before reading this book, but I felt so bad for her! Not to say that she was perfect by any means, but it’s obvious why she was a tortured soul as her life is incredibly tragic. I love learning about old Hollywood, though sadly the more that comes to light the dimmer the gold glistens as we see that not all is what it has seemed.
I really liked the shorter chapters and overall flow of this book. The author made this feel more like I was reading a novel and not a nonfiction. Since I did not know much about Lana Turner, I found this subject interesting and the read immersive. With not a lot of fluff, this author gets down to the nitty-gritty, keeping the facts concise and to the point, and skimming through years in just a few paragraphs. I personally love this as it keeps the pace snappy and the progression perfection.
