Trash but good trash.....

While it is agreed this book is a definate dishonour to jean harlow's memory. One should be smart enough to realize it is still one of the best trashy pulp reads i have ever experienced. Irving shulman is regarded as one of the best pulp novelists with his stories about life on the streets circa 1940's. This film noir treatment of harlow's life maybe inacurrate, but it is still an entertaining read that would make jackie collins green with envy. If one also reads nathanel west's novel, "day of the locust", One could feel it is an companion piece to this other fictonal work detailing side of hollywood life one rarely wishes to think about.
