Apparently, it's meticulously researched, although some people really take issue with Woodward's characterization of Belushi. I liked the level of detail, even if toward the end, it started reading like a Smoking Gun dossier. Now, this book was like a dream come true for me, in theory: drug addiction, real-life assholes (including Bill Murray! and Chevy Chase!), Hollywood goings-on, Chateau Marmont bungalows, Robert DeNiro going apeshit for heroin!, seedy folks plying Belushi with blow. And I am totally the kind of person who goes nuts over tidbits like, "That girl he's hanging out with toward the end? That is totally Richard Dreyfuss' ex-wife. The one with lupus who was in 'Last House on the Left.'" And Woodward's depiction of those final days is just so vivid. You can imagine what the bungalow smelled like, what Belushi looked like, and how horribly pathetic junkies turn out to be. But, you know what? I had one big stumbling block with this book: I really hated Belushi. Just couldn't stand the guy, the way he treated people, the way he has somehow been lionized as this tragic, sweaty teddy bear or whatever. Give me a break. He treated everyone like shit, especially those poor gals on Saturday Night Live (he didn't believe women could be funny. At all.) This is charming? I know many of his peers thought he was endearing and infinitely talented and a comic genius who could have achieved so much more. The talent part is true. He was hilarious, at times. But the guy, judging from this book, was a complete asshole. I mean, how annoying is some rich fat TV comedian who goes from being a Blues Brother one second to stalking around in a leather jacket snorting drug after drug, all the while demanding a punk rock soundtrack for some stupid movie about wine he insists on doing and busting everyone's balls about how they are not "real?" So, I can't love this book. No matter how much dirt it fed me. I just wanted Belushi to die. And he did, so at least there was a happy ending.
