This book was so incredibly well written and was a great insight into the struggles of fame, but I think my total disinterest in film culture made this a tough read. I didn't understand a lot of the references made (had to ask my dad about them since he grew up in LA during the time period the book is set in). Made it hard to stay immersed and interested.
