it was amazing

excellent. This book may have been written in 1976 but given the topics at hand it is still beyond pertinent today. Honestly, I loved this book.

Right now he's talking about Bette Davis in In This Our Life (the one where she pins the hit and run on the Black chauffeur) which I watched not all that long ago but may have to watch again."
