My rating: 3 of 5 stars
At first I thought I was reading a Dickens parody until it became clear where the book was set and what the hero’s’ occupation was. This tale can be confusing to follow at times, just as the protagonist feels in his quest to complete his project. There’s references that are slightly outdated, however the book was conceived over fifty years ago. Die-hard fans of film may be able to relate to some of the referred actors. There’s some very eccentric directors out there that wields too much power over the rest of the studio, and there’s very few characters that gives little to trust. You’ve got to wonder how anything gets done at all with all these antics. The conclusion gets quite emotional towards the end, and I wonder if this idea was stolen for a later film franchise. However, it’s just another day of life on a set in a film studio.
