Amazing book. Andrew Cunanan was a clever, intelligent man, and yet ended up with a warped sense of resentment and entitlement. This book tells the tale of his slide into a dark twisted world. Such a waste of life.
Currently watching the TV series on BBC2, but definitely prefer the book.

Vulgar Favors is, as most of you will know, the book on which Season two of American Crime Stories is based.

I read this book after starting to watch the series, it was actually a very good companion piece as the movements of Cunanan very fairly convoluted and book helps makes sense of what is shown in the series. Orth is a very good writer and her magazine style of prose has ping and impact which helps the story tear along at a good pace. However, unlike some magzine style writers she does not reduce to cheap stereotypes and tired tropes, rather she sensibly allows the characters the breathing space they deserve in the book and we see a full and interesting development for each of the main players.

All told this is a very good book which I can recommend to both the true crime fan and someone looking for a companion piece to the series, it certainly helped me to understand what I was seeing on screen.
