Review - Botts Breaks Hollywood

I didn't care for this collection as much and had a hard time getting through it. It's been a while since I read about Botts, but I remember in the earlier stories that, while crazy, he was actually clever. Here, things work out for the best in spite of his stupidity, and he doesn't really have much, or anything, to do with it except to cause the problem in the first place.
