Killing the Legends: The Lethal Danger of Celebrity by Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard
2.0
informative slow-paced

 This book follows the lives and careers of Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Muhammad Ali. Each of them had their own respective issues and people around them who were not as helpful and supportive as they could have been. They had a lot of negative things going on behind the scenes, and eventually their lives veered off course. I most enjoyed reading about Muhammad Ali, because I did not know a lot about him beyond the fact that he was a boxer.

I know people have a lot of negative opinions about Bill O'Reilly, and I agree with some of them for sure, but I received this set of books as a gift and committed myself to the series. Despite what there is to be said about him as a person, I do find these books to be pretty interesting. This was not my favorite book in the series, but it was an enjoyable read. I picked it up at the library right before I decided to take a reading break for the Christmas holidays, so I read it pretty slowly compared to my normal reading speed. I have to turn them in.
