Book Reviews of Clark Gable: Tormented Star
Book Review: Bret's in love with Rhett
Summary: 1 Stars
I've always loved Gable, and have read several bios on him (the best being "Long Live the King"), but this one should have come in comic book format. David Bret is a fantasy writer, not a biographer by any means. He projects his own wishful thinking onto his subject, or victim, by insisting with no proof whatsoever, that he was anything but straight. According to Bret's writing, everyone in Hollywood and their kid brother was or is gay. [...] No matter what Gable did to get ahead in Hollywood, his preference was women.
The only redeeming quality about this piece of junk is to turn it into a parlor game entitled "How many mistakes can you find per page?" Waste of time, money, and eyestrain. I would'nt even give this book away; it would be too embarrassing.
