The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Laid Bare: A Memoir of Wrecked Lives and the Hollywood Death Trip':

Unknown reviewer wrote:
SIGHT and SOUND says: "Reading LAID BARE is like finding a series of lost diaries by such icons as James Dean, Marailyn Monroe and Janis Joplin, all of whom John Gilmore--an LA-born child actor, alomst movie star, director and writer--hung out (if not slept) with before they became iconic. Beautifully written in a style somewhere between Jack Kerouac and Charles Bukowski and several light years away from the cobbled-together sleaze the title and dustjacket suggest, this is an astonishing book... Tead it above all for its insights into the failed lives and seamy side of Hollywood...
