Title: A stumble down the Red Carpet
Product review: Self-described 'ugly duckling' from Montreal lands in Hollywood and hob-nobs with the rich and famous on Hollywood's Red Carpet. However, about 85% of this skimpy (165 pages) journal is about his transformation into an 'oddity' rather than the uglier duckling (or as he says on the last pages; from a scale of 1-10 he went from a 1 to a 5). The other 15% is just filler...dropping a celebrity name here and there in bold print, mind you (he must have smartly sensed the average reader would be skimming this dread, and really, there's not much to skim). Literally, that is all there is - until he shares his new-found wisdom on the last page; "beauty is only skin deep - it's what's inside that counts". Truly profound.How anyone can make experiences on the Red Carpet seem so lifeless and dull is beyond me. On the book jacket, it says that this is Cojocaru's first book. Hopefully, it will be his last.
