Anyone here read 'The Voyeur's Motel' by Gay Talese?

Norman Bates in the film Psycho was a rank amateur at voyeurism compared with Gerald Foos and his wife Donna who for many years ran a motel in Colorado and secretly watched their guests from spy-holes in the ceiling of each room. Not only that, Foos kept a diary containing elaborate notes on what he'd seen, and eventually persuaded author Gay Talese to write these up for him in the form of a 2018 book. I haven't actually read it (yet), but have seen reviews plus excerpts. I suspect that even Zity-ers might get a few surprises from it! Anyone here able to share some tidbits?

Something that intrigues and puzzles me about the story behind this book is that Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks was reportedly going to make a film of it, with Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) as director. Steven Spielberg, for chrisake! (Didn't he make ET and other kidstuff - as well as serious stuff like Schindler's List?) And just HOW would they have filmed what is essentially a tale of prolonged voyeurism - over several years - in a Colorado motel?!

Wasn't that whole story debunked?

Either entirely fiction, or at the very least, unverifiable?
