“Biog of his time in NYC and working for Vanity Fair.
Funny and interesting , as I got into the book I liked him more and more. Usually biographies have the opposite effect.

Score 5/10

“Described as a chilling ghost story. It has had lots of positive reviews.
As for chilling, the ghost story left me cold. Every time you get the feeling the story is about to take off in classic ‘Water’s’ style she goes all rational on me and by using a lower middle class character who constantly analyses the super natural. So is the book become a story about the decline of the upper class at the end of WW2.
I expected so much more.
