2 Stars

This Penguin 70s book comprises three short pieces of writing. Two are magazine articles, the third Theroux refers to as essay.
The Two Stars in question are Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, however there is also a lot of time spent with Michael Jackson - largely due to his relationship with Taylor.
Probably due to the subject material - I have no real knowledge of Elizabeth Taylor, I can't stand Michael Jackson - I just think he is weirdo, and Marilyn, well she is jut a bit outside of my era - I didn't find this particularly enthralling. The Marilyn auction was by far the better of the three pieces.
I like Theroux as a writer. As a journalist - this is the first I have read, and I am not sure his style works as well.
A two stars, nothing more. (No pun intended!)
