RICK DALTON – Once he had his own TV series, but now Rick’s a washed-up villain-of-the week drowning his sorrows in whiskey sours. Will a phone call from Rome save his fate or seal it? CLIFF BOOTH – Rick’s stunt double, and the most infamous man on any movie set because he’s the only one there who might have gotten away with murder. SHARON TATE – She left Texas to chase a movie-star dream, and found it. Sharon’s salad days are now spent on Cielo Drive, high in the Hollywood Hills. CHARLES MANSON – The ex-con’s got a bunch of zonked-out hippies thinking he’s their spiritual leader, but he’d trade it all to be a rock ‘n’ roll star. HOLLYWOOD 1969 – YOU SHOULDA BEEN THERE

As someone who watched the movie when it first came out I need to say that I didn’t have any expectations for this book because I wasn’t the biggest fan of the movie. However I am a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino which made me very disappointed in this book because in a way I was expecting something more from this book. 

The plot here follows many characters and it is quite confusing because it switched characters without any heads up but after a while you get used to it but still it was very confusing and annoying.

We are given a lots of information in this book and most of this information is very useless and overwhelming. It feels like Quentin Tarantino is throwing random names and information at us without using it later in this book just to fill up the page and have this book longer.

This book isn’t a novel nor novelisation of a movie it is rather a movie memorabilia which really was the worst choice which Quentin Tarantino could have done. This book feels like a very weak first draft of a movie or a book.

The writing style here was okay for the most part but it didn’t feel like something written by Quentin Tarantino.

The characters here are super boring and really uninteresting. The only character Ive almost liked was Cliff but mostly I didn’t care for all of the characters in this book. Because they are super flat and boring.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
