## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reading this is like you are there in LA with Cameron.
*by D***P on June 25, 2021*

If you read and enjoyed the book "Strange Angel" by George Pendleton about scientist, Jack Parsons, this is the perfect follow-up read! It's about Parsons (3rd & final) wife who was an artist, a self-confessed witch (after living with Parsons and joining the OTO), an exotic, eccentric and fascinating person. Again, I learned so much about the LA scene back in those days. At first I was a bit disappointed in the book. It seemed like the author was regurgitating abbreviated content from George Pendleton's book. Credit was given to all his sources including Mr. Pendleton. Once you get past the brief history of Cameron and Jack's relationship it takes off! This author really researched his subject and it is amazing!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extraordinary Research and Depth
*by C***E on February 8, 2011*

This book is a valuable, rare and comprehensive resource for information and insight into this unique and reclusive woman. Spenser Kansa states that he spent about three years gathering data for his book. It contains insightful details that I'm sure would have been lost forever had he not devoted himself to this chronicle of her life. Cameron was eccentric, self-possessed and in the company of the cream of hip society in the 60's...yet hardly anyone has heard of her. She practiced magic and produced art. She lived with David Meltzer, was in films by Kenneth Anger and Curtis Harrington, knew L.Ron Hubbard, was married to Jack Parsons, murdered co-founder of JPL and, acted with Dennis Hopper...just for starters. This book also pulls no punches, and tells the good, the bad and the ugly. Fascinating story, important for those interested in 1960's art, poetry, and California culture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting look into esoteric circle
*by C***R on January 26, 2024*

I enjoyed the book, which seem very well researched. It's a side of Los Angeles you won't find chronicled in too many places. I still find Cameron a bit of an aloof, enigmatic presence, even after learning more about her. I enjoyed the writing and peek into her world, and the eccentric characters around her. I did have a slight issue following timelines. The author would focus on a block of time in Cameron's life in a chapter, then jump about within the period--for example, dealing with the rise of the beat generation and events of '57-59, then segue to meeting James Dean shortly before his death in '55, then forward again, so that the anecdotes all became displaced in time. Add the rare anachronistic gaff--Cameron plays the Camelot soundtrack for Jack Parsons, who died eight years before the show debuted--and I sometimes found myself rechecking to see when something occurred. Still, a great read if you are interested in Cameron or the esoteric subculture of LA.
