Really well written. Impressive and often very funny dialogue. Creative. But a disappointing ending. (Addendum) The further I get from this book (and so the further I get from remembering how its plot gets a little sloppy and its ending is a little disappointing), the more I am impressed by its writing. Lowy has a dialogue-heavy book with literally no he said/she said tags. It reads incredibly quickly and often feels like movie dialogue, which is certainly on purpose given that the main character is a screenwriter. Maybe I would not recommend this book, above all, to a regular reader, but to a writer I would recommend it instantly. It's really well done.   hide
