Imagine my surprise to discover that Behind Sunset actually had a plot. For quite a while as I read, it seemed to be just a collection of comic scenarios with colorful characters. I asked myself "What's the point?" But, I didn't put it down and soon author David Gordon had me invested in the story, which ultimately takes us behind Sunset Boulevard to the darker and creepier sides of Hollywood. Some real funny sides too. Turns out there is a plot and the colorful characters from the beginning are the ones who see the plot through. I can't say that everything worked, but Gordon sure is one clever author, and his novel worth the read. On an airplane, at the beach, or at sunset.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

I tried my best to get into this, but it just wasn't for me. Good concept, but the execution just wasn't there.

Thanks for the ARC! This was an enjoyable and quick read. At times it flys a little close to its influences, and gets hard not to make comparisons to books I really liked, which doesn't always work in its favor. But, I'll never say no to a fun book, with Hollywood as a backdrop.

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!
