Title: Bad title, good book
Product review: I really liked this book. Its an interesting 1930s novel about the corrupting influence of Hollywood on a pair of wannabe movie extras by the author of THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? The main character is a country boy from Georgia who doesn't want to learn to act and is content to sit around waiting to be "discovered" and molded into a movie star. Desperate for money, one of the minor characters is driven to shoplifting and eventually to suicide.The Hollywood characters are all superficial and have no interest in anything but the movies. The book is not a crime novel, just an interesting portrayal of average people and what the desire for fame can do to them. Although the book was written years ago, it has a modern feel and universal appeal. A worthwhile read.
