Haunted hollywood review,
By Steven Earl Mader "Chisox Steve" (Bloomington, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ghost Stories of Hollywood (Paperback)
While this is an interesting read and accurate, it seemed as though the author was in a hurry to write this. She could have given more information in a lot of areas. It was kind of a Reader's Digest type of treatment. Some areas your interest would be picked and you'd want to know more only to find more wasn't forthcoming. Still an interesting read.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not a great entry to the "Ghost Stories of" series.,
By Lifelong Bookie (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghost Stories of Hollywood (Paperback)
The book was enjoyable enough, and it was interesting to read about the supposed haunts of this epicenter of the rich and famous. However, the author's details were frequently incorrect. In one instance, she stated that the Pantages Theater was haunted by the ghost of Howard Hughes, citing that he was a heavy smoker and the smell of his cigarettes lingers on. Wrong! Hughes detested smoking and was once seen plucking a cigarette from then-girlfriend Katharine Hepburn's mouth. The "Ghost Stories of" series generally has accurate details about the areas in which the stories take place, or about their backgrounds, but this one did not. In my mind, its credibility is dubious at best, and I would not recommend it.
