Title: The perfect beach read...
Product review: Ok, I used to work in this business -- i.e., the movie business -- so I know what I'm talking about here. DeVries takes aim at "the biz" and strikes with deadly, hilarious accuracy. Even so, if this were all she accomplished here, it might not be enough. Fortunately -- amazingly -- it's not. DeVries appears to be that rare journalist (she covers Hollywood-types; she's considered a must-read among the cognesceti) who knows how to tell a real story, who knows how to create flesh-and-blood characters you care about, and who can really WRITE. "o 5 Minutes Ago" is a gem. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten mote attention than it has, although it does seem to be building a real fan base. Anyway -- bottom line -- by this book! You'll be glad did!
