Roosevelt and Howe
At some point I may go back and read the rest of this book but after 100 pages, I gave up. It was like reading a genealogy book on the Reagan and Davis families with as many quotes and names as he could squeeze onto a page. It was almost as if the author wanted to be sure to prove his research so he was sure you would believe him. When I left the book, the main characters had not made it to Hollywood yet but if he followed suit, those chapters would just be a series of name-dropping and quotes, with little feeling or story behind them. Sometimes I wish I had read an excerpt from the book before buying it and that is certainly the case here.
