“There was no way moving to Los Angeles was going to make me give up my soul. After all, I’d already seen all the movies about Hollywood. I knew how things worked.” Twenty-four year-old Russel Middebrook and his boyfriend have moved to Los Angeles so Russel can try to make it as a screenwriter. Almost right away, in a forgotten old house off of Sunset Boulevard, Russel meets Isaac Brander, a once-famous film producer who is convinced he can turn Russel’s screenplay into a movie. Russel knows that success can’t possibly come this easy. After all, most of Russel’s Los Angeles friends are so desperate to make it that it’s downright scary. His ex-boyfriend, Otto, is trying everything to become an actor, and Daniel, the sexy neighbor, doesn’t even need a casting couch to get naked. So what’s the catch with Mr. Brander? Could it be that movies about Hollywood don’t tell the whole truth?
Det er ret interessant at læse om bagsiden af Hollywood drømmen. Hvordan det er, når man kæmper for at bryde igennem. Når realiteterne kan overaske, selvom man tror man selv er fornuftig.
Samtidig er det også en bog om ikke at lade drømmen komme før alt andet. Finde ud af, hvad det er der i virkeligheden betyder noget.
