I skipped the You Must Remember This season about this book because I wanted to read it first but now that I have, I'm really looking forward to the podcast dissecting it. This has a reputation for being salacious, and also quite possibly entirely made up, and reading it confirmed both the former and the latter. There are no sources cited, he openly references rumor and conjecture as the basis for the innuendos he repeats. There is also racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny, and homophobia! It was a quicker read than its page count suggests, there are a ton of black and white photos (some of which are quite upsetting, like images of people and animals after they have died!) that pad it out. It's not really worth reading unless you're an Old Hollywood completist.
