This is a self-published book about the murder charges leveled against silent film start Fatty Arbuckle in 1921, and I'd like to cut the author, David Kizer, some slack. I admire that he took on such an ambitious project and saw it through. Some have said here that the book is poorly written (and it is) but I think the bigger fault is that it's poorly edited. Some of the editing problems may seem trivial, although reading this book makes it apparent that commas in the wrong place, as well as the failure to place commas where required, can really detract from the reading experience. But there are also too many sarcastic comments, awkwardly worded sentences, strange asides, as well as the occasional bizarre randomly inserted paragraph giving us updates on what Babe Ruth was doing on certain days. (One of the bigger "WTF" moments came when Kizer diverted from his storyline for a single paragraph to tell us that, back in New York, the Yankees beat the Indians 9 to 0 and Babe Ruth hit a single and made a nice running catch in the outfield. Huh?)There are two things that this book really desperately needs: A comprehensive review by an experienced and competent editor, and some kind of explanation of the author's sources. I realize that it may be difficult at this point to properly add numbered footnotes throughout the text, but two or three pages explaining the author's research process and a description of the source materials would add a great deal to the book's credibility.Meanwhile, as I type this, Babe Ruth is lying peacefully in his grave at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, New York, beneath a tombstone with his name on it.Now that I've gotten those complaints out of the way, I do want to say that the author does seem to have some kind of legal background (There's no "about the author" so we can't be sure.) and has spent a lot of time analyzing the case, the evidence, and the strategies of the attorneys involved in the Arbuckle trials. At its best, the book can be a page-turner at times and for all its faults, it may be the best book available about what happened to Fatty Arbuckle. We have the makings here of a pretty good book, and I do hope that the author revisits it and gets it the thorough editing that it needs.
I've read a number of books about Fatty Arbuckle but most of the books cover his entire life. This is the first book I've found that concentrates on the murder charge and the subsequent trials. The detail in this book is extensive. How this author collected all of this information and then made any sense of it is amazing. If you've ever wanted all of the details about the San Francisco DA's witness tampering, evidence creation and press manipulation that caused the destruction of one man, this is the book to read. I find it personally amazing that almost 100 years after this tragic event, Fatty Arbuckle is still considered a murderer rather than the fantastic comedian that he actually was. It's too bad that Mr. Kizer wasn't alive to have participated in Roscoe's defense. The author correctly points out that there were three major trials in the 20th century but this one trial changed an entire industry and almost a century later, we're still feeling its repercussions.
Wolves at the Door is a compelling read. Mr. Kizer brings to life the silent screen great Fatty Arbuckle and the ensuing scandal revolving around the death of actress Virginia Rappe in San Francisco in 1921. I have read other books recounting the machinations of the sordid details that poured out during the trial of this innocent man, but Wolves at the Door treads where none of the other books on this subject dare to go. Mr. Kizer's keen sense for the understatement and tremendous ability to set the mood of the 1920s (It's chock full of wonderful facts, trivia and provides the reader with the social, political and economic goings on during that time.) provides a full canvas for any reader to get a feel for what the roaring 20s were and would become. It's an ambitious book starting with two chapters giving detail of the goings on prior to and leading up to that eventful "party" at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. The balance of the book rockets into what takes place after the arrest Fatty Arbuckle and his subsequent trial for the murder of Virginia Rappe. This where Mr. Kizer's gift of the understatement is intelligently displayed; the the competition between the lawyers is at times humorous and at times disturbingly upsetting. Mr. Kizer is a natural storyteller. His explanation of the legal tactics, procedures and legal challenges that existed at the trial are a delight to read for those in the legal profession or not. I found the book to be a quick read and would recommended Wolves at the Door to everyone.
I bought this book hoping to learn about what really happened at that infamous party which resulted in that "trial of the century" so long ago.This book has answered many of my questions, so in that respect, it has served it's purpose. But I was hoping to get an impartial assessment of the facts. What I got was the pro-Arbuckle version of events. For example, minor discrepancies in the testimony of prosecution witnesses were highlighted and evil motivations were implied. Similar problems plainly present in Abuckle's testimony passed without remark.Without wanting to sound too critical, the Kindle version of this book was poorly edited,... containing many words which would pass spell-check but clearly were not what the author meant to say.I'm not sure if another, more impartial account of this story exists, but after finishing this book I am still wishing for one.
