The Perfume Burned His Eyes by Michael Imperioli
4.0
An interesting debut. Perhaps a bit stark when it comes to the writing style, it isn't particularly defined. But what makes up for it is the vivid storytelling.
Dancing on the Edge: A Journey of Living, Loving, and Tumbling Through Hollywood by Sarah Tomlinson, Russ Tamblyn
5.0
Thoroughly charming and written with a lot of love, I enjoyed every single page!
Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Lives of the Stars by Scotty Bowers
3.0
Gets boring after a bit, not gonna lie. It's not well written, it felt as if I was reading someone's pocket diary, but instead of 'i had breakfast' and 'i washed the dishes' it was 'George Cukor gave me a blowjob', so yeah.
Neil Young: American Traveller by Martin Halliwell
4.0
A rather interesting dive into Young's lyricism. The chapter that deals with south was particularly interesting, I am not even American, but knowing the 'feud' it offered more than enough insight. That chapter was so brilliant that the others simply didn't live up to its greatness.
Ripley Under Water by Patricia Highsmith
4.5
A fine finale to the series. The magic if Ripley novels is that each one ends in a way where there is no need for a sequel and yet each new one was a welcome one. And that includes this one. Patricia Highsmith passed away a few years after this one was published, but one starts wondering wether she planned on anything else for her dearest character.
PAUL NEWMAN - The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man: A Memoir by Paul Newman
4.5
Brief, but lovely. I've recently watched The Last Movie Stars which served as an expansion on this memoir and I thought it was wonderful. Reading the original text only enhanced my love for it.
