Summary: Interesting info--but was this a first draft?
Comment: This book is a good overview of Lugosi's career, but I have some doubts as to its accuracy because it was so poorly edited. It almost reads like a first draft.
I mean, this thing, has extra commas, just dropped in, like pepper!
Oftentimes names are spelled one way at the opening of a paragraph, and another way at the end. Sentences are repeated from page to page as though the author pasted but forgot to cut.At one point a paragraph even begins by announcing a "Film review of Spooks Gone Wild:"
This is then followed by four paragraphs about another film entirely, "Black Dragons."
Did anybody read this thing a second time before going to press? So incredibly sloppy!
How can I even believe the basic facts the author presents if he and his editor can't even get sixth grade composition down?

Summary: Bela, a review
Comment: A good book but I noticed some obvious mistakes from the "get-go" like in the opening statements when it was said that Lugos was formerly Romania but now Hungary but it is actually the opposite- formerly Hungary but now Romania! Also, there was much repetition in the quotes in the book. Other than that it was actually one of the better books on Bela that I have read. I am Canadian but speak Hungarian and love Bela so I am always looking for a good biography of his!

Summary: Even a rating of one star is TOO high for this book.
Comment: Only Lugosi completests should purchase this book. It is filled with numerous factual errors and offers absolutely nothing new that has not already been covered by other books. Lugosi fans would be better served to buy Gary Don Rhode's or Greg Mank's books or any of a number of other Lugosi related works.
