I tend to steer away from nonfiction as I would much rather hear someone talk about their life or watch a ridiculous biopic about them. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this deep-dive into the troublesome life of Monty and the salacious starlet Elizabeth. Truthfully, I knew little to nothing about the two of them, though I walked away feeling as if I got a lot of insight into the two of them. Would we have gotten along? Probably not, but I still enjoyed reading about their crazy antics! 

I want to read more by Charles Casillo since he has this unique way of making these stars larger than life but still incredibly human.
