If you like following the history of Hollywood, this is a novel by a well-known producer who rather than write a history of Hollywood, invents a family through three generations that lives through the different stages of Hollywood business growth, the studios in control, the producers/actors/directors in the late 70s through the current history of corporate ownership. Significant Hollywood players who are mentioned include Steve McQueen and Mike Ovitz who once again is portrayed negatively. I suspect he's used to that by now.I found this to be a very fast enjoyable read if you like nonfiction and Hollywood history. My only complaint is the ending seemed to be thrown together and seemed to leave a few unresolved issues to explore like the father's former girlfriend who is now pregnant. Overall, I would highly recommend this book and thoroughly enjoyed it.
