Book Reviews of Not Simply Divine
Book Review: Not Divine, Indeed!
Summary: 2 Stars
Badly-written, over-wrought, and certainly not "Divine." Jay was Divine's manager for the last few years of his life, when the actor was trying--with no success at all--for a singing career. This book was written without the cooperation of John Waters or any of the Dreamland crowd, and it shows. Divine's acting roles are glossed over, as is his very real talent as a performer. No sense of his light-hearted personality comes through in this dark, humorless tale. Ignore this book, go out and rent some of the star's great performances: Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Hairspray, Trouble In Mind. You won't find Divine between these covers.
