Customer Reviews

Highly Recommend

First of all, I think it is very funny that everyone gave this book a great review except the two readers from Los Angeles, where this book is set! Maybe it hits too close to home for Angelenos who (I have found) overestimate their cultural and intellectual significance. As well as being completely full of themselves.I read this book long before I came out to Los Angeles, and would like to read it again now that I have been here a few years. Back in a rural area of the East Coast, I thought it was a hilarious book that I could not put down. It is one of those books you are disappointed to have end. Sadly, some (a lot) of the book is true of the Hollywood scene.Ok, so it's not some grand philosophical treatise, but it is a very witty and sharp view of Hollywood. I have read other Felske books, and they do not compare to clever writing of this book.

Great reading for this shallow man

What can I say, I love beautiful women. And this novel throws you in the middle of the most available, beautiful women in America. Taking a Hollywood wannabe and putting him close to the flame, this novel allows the main character to explore his dreams and his values. A great "beach" read and a great read about Hollywood culture. I liked the book enough I will put it on my reread list.

The "Word" for X-Generation

Buzz words, Hollyword insights, romance, sex, lies, the whole LA scene is in this book. Felske gives you a free trip to LA with a discount price A great (and I mean GREAT) ending twists and turns you, making you realize you shouldn't trust anyone. One of those books that you will not, no wait, CANNOT put down. A classic in every sense.

Truth is stranger than fiction

If you haven't lived it, this book will make no sense. But if you are in the entertainment business, you have done the New York thing, you've done the LA thing, you will sit there saying, "This is amazing." It is LA in a nutshell and frightening how accurate it is.

I felt like a child at the playground.

I couldn't wait to turn each page. What would Hayward do next? The characters were exciting and believable. I had great fun reading this book. Thanks.
