"Although it covers infamous deaths such as Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Sharon Tate, etc, it's great to see people who led interesting lives but died in a relatively normal fashion and/or in relative obscurity, such as Norma Shearer or Hedy Lamarr. It doesn't include anything you wouldn't find on wikipedia and the photos are far and few between but it's an interesting "dip in and out" kind of book."
"I was incapable of putting this book down. It was slightly morbid, yet highly fascinating. Even the chapter on "Natural Causes" was exciting to read, as Parish devoted as much time to the early life and rise to fame of the star, as he did to their actual demise."
"This book was sometimes gruesome to read, and I often felt a little seedy, like a voyeur at a crime scene. That didn't stop me from reading every page, however."
