Title: A fun satire
Review: Lee Goldberg must have had a lot of fun writing this book, and I certainly had fun reading it. I can imagine that Goldberg's tongue was firmly in his cheek as his protagonist wanders through a post-earthquake Los Angeles, desperately seeking to get back to the comfort and security of his gated community in the Valley. Along the way he encounters more trials and tribulations than Job. But he keeps picking himself up and wandering on to the next disaster to be inflicted upon him. There's a lot of humorous sarcasm directed at Hollywood and its producers, scriptwriters, directors and other denizens, and at their inflated self-importance and ego-battles. This book reminded me of "Candide" by Voltaire.
Is the review positive or negative?
