Book review – A Hollywood Ending

August 28th, 2008

Sarah Clarke of The Torbay Bookshop reviews the latest releases.

I just couldn’t resist a sneaky peek inside A Hollywood Ending by Robyn Sisman and found it to be one of those books that once started, just couldn’t be put down. Spoilt American starlet Paige Carson flees to London after her US career takes a bit of a nosedive to star in a small budget production of “As You Like It”. After many trials she finds both love and respect for her acting abilities. It was at times an outrageously funny send-up of La La Land and the British Snob Scene and I cackled my way to the very last page.

A Hollywood Ending, Robyn Sisman, Orion, £9.99, 9780752898889
