Book Reviews of The Biograph Girl
Book Review: A real pleaser
Summary: 4 Stars
The Biograph Girl is sure to please anyone with an affinity for Hollywood history, mysteries, and the modern subculture that is popular entertainment. William J. Mann manages to blend a wide variety of divergent elements into a very cohesive and entertaining narrative that meets the true test of any mystery - you can't put it down for want of finding out how it ends. I deducted a star because the ending, although clever, is somewhat obvious. It seems like Mann, with his incredibly intricate plot lines, trapped himself into a bit of a corner. This is not to say that it's bad - quite the contrary. It's just a bit disappointing.Also to be appreciated is the incredible amount of research that must have gone in to the writing since it is just chock full of details that are one of the true pleasures of the book. Although lengthy, it doesn't read as such and the "you are there" sense that one gets is highly effective.
