Lives Cut Short Set 2 – Booklist
The dependable Lives Cut Short series adds. . .titles featuring celebrities who died prematurely. Each begins with a poignant quote from the late celeb, such as this from Marilyn Monroe: “You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.” The books use many other first-person quotes as well as comments from people who knew the subject. Freed from the risk of libel, the authors generally treat their biographees with a mix of admiration for their achievements and honesty about the mistakes they made…making an excellent use of sidebars to explain and extend the information, with well-chosen photographs. Given the subject, it’s a bit macabre to say it, but this is one series worth continuing.
