Simply Outstanding And Gives A Cold Hard Look At Reality

This novel is perhaps one of the most interesting and indepth pieces of literature I have had the pleasure of reading. It gives the reader the cold-hard facts of life after the glitter and galmour of the screen is over. This novel presents the aftermath of how some stars were able to cope with not being stars anymore and how some were not so lucky. It is a must for anyone who would like to know what has happened to his or her favorite childhood actor or actresses from a particular sitcom.
