WAS THERE A DARK SIDE TO LESLEY GORE? I enjoyed the book. Would have liked more detail on some parts. For example, the section which told about the 2nd time that Lesley was stalked. The author states that the stalker was someone she used to work with. Now that needs explaining! But yet the author did not elaborate. The author tried to paint Lesl. "I do own this book and I'm glad." according to Rudy. I was duly impressed with the author's love of the subject and his skill as a writer. However, because of Gore's untimely death and that many of the people involved in her early career were deceased or unavailable for comment , much of the author's information was taken from previous sources that had been av
