Book Review: Bela: Forever Undead...
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has much to recommend it primarily because the author unlike so many biographers knew his subject personally and even though he was a great fan of Lugosi's in earlier years is dispassionate enough with the passing of time to write a fair and balanced account of his life. There is much anecdotal material here that whets the appetite and even for the younger viewers today not familiar with the Lugosi legend Lennig helps everyone come away with the feeling of having known this troubled man personally. If I have any criticism of the book at all it would be the amount of text devoted to giving dialogue from Lugosi's movies, for one who has seen most of them I know this material intimately already, still this manages also to be a positive for those less familiar with his roles. Several pages of pictures not seen in any other Lugosi biography I know of including many of the author as a young man with his then hero. The material included here is not new , however Lennig's personal spin on Lugosi, his films, family and personal demons succeeds in being both informative and entertaining.
