Book Reviews of Hollywood Babylon--It's Back
Book Review: A Disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this book to be a disappointment. The layout of the pages is very amateurish and ugly. The information tries to sound scandalous but after a while becomes repetetive and even dull. I found myself skipping page after page just to look at the photographs, many of which are of poor quality and seem to have been lifted from the internet, without credit (one of them is mine, that I took of Lucille Ball a few weeks before her death). Some photographs look like they were printed from poor washd-out photocopies. (In their defense, perhaps all they could find of certain rare photos were photocopies, and so decided to print poor versions instead of none at all.) As with the original Hollywood Babylon 1 and 2 by Kenneth Anger, don't rely on these books for facts or truth. What's in them is embellished, at the very least, for titillation. Whatever truth may be contained in these books is basically lost in the stew of rumors, half-truths and outright fiction. A shame, since it doesn't even result in a very good read.
