>From Amazon:
I was a John Belushi fan from the first episode of "Saturday Night Live" and
I think his performance in ANIMAL HOUSE puts him in the same league with the
great film comedians of all time. I still vividly remember hearing about his
death in March 1982 and still wonder what might have been if he was still
around.
And I've read WIRED several times.

It's a horrible tragedy what happened to him, but hopefully some people can
take something away from this book--see the warning and avoid the same the
fate. I think the book is well-written and well-researched (I particularly
liked how Woodward strictly reported the facts: someone saw Belushi in the
company of a Playboy bunny and Woodward leaves it only at that--when other
writers would've piled on leering speculations). If there is ever a reprint,
I think there should be a new chapter by Woodward reflecting on his
experience or at least the article (in ROLLING STONE?) that covered the
controversy and fallout of the book's initial printing.

Nothing can change what a great talent John Belushi was. The sad details of
his final days haven't diminished his accomplishments--but they did make for
a scary, compelling book about the underside of Hollywood and man
overwhelmed by his appetites.
