The Real Hollywood Gossip

This is really fascinating stuff. Even my wife began to read it.

Strange title, but a fun book.

This was a gift from a media friend of ours. She knows I stay in the car and read when my wife shops. So this is more a car book than a bathroom book. It is fun and there are so many sections in so many categories and covers most of the great stars. The only complaint I would make is that there are some great ones only given a sentence or not mentioned at all. A sequel to this book is needed. We need more on Susan Hayward than a line. And we do need material on other favorites like Rhonda Fleming, Deanna Lund and Joyce Meadows. Very much appreciated was information on the old great horror films, science fiction, Westerns and action/adventure.

Outstanding

I love these books..... keep them coming. For the people that love useless knowledge and short form styles of reading these books rock!!!

Two Thumbs Up for Uncle John's Latest!

I have been a fan of the Uncle John series since the very first Bathroom Reader came on the scene. The series is perfect fodder for trivia-craving minds like mine! I have especially enjoyed their "Plunges Into" books - Great Lives, History, etc. Like the previous "Plunges" volumes, the "Hollywood" book is a hoot. You can dip into the book at any page and come up with fascinating material on actors & actresses, awards, directors, studios, scandals, good movies/bad movies, special effects, bloopers and much, much more. Almost 500 pages of pure delight! Trivia buffs and movie afficiandos will love this. I know I did. At $17.95, how can you go wrong?!

Another great book

I really love these books. They are interesting and a really quick read. (I never read them in the bathroom, though!). I have all the other Bathroom Readers and I look forward to every new one they create. Keep the great books coming!
