Thank you to John Mason, Unnamed Press, and Netgalley for the ARC. My review is voluntary and all opinions are my own.

There was just something about the description of this book that intrigued me. I had never heard of John Mason, but decided why not. I am so glad I did! This book about an entertainment lawyer was great. He told personal stories about clients. He actually humanized some of them with his wit and insight. I have to say his chapter on Olivia Newton John was my favorite. Mr. Mason told information with honesty, humor and love for his clients.

I like these type of books. Behind the scenes with the stars type of books. Whether written by their lawyer/manager/or friend-they usually give me some insights on the star/celebrity that I was not aware of. This book was of that nature. It was competently though not well written and was interesting enough but Mason’s stories of representing various stars(Olivia Newton John. Randy Travis and others were sort of the same. And nothing really inside was divulged. So for completists recommended. For others it’s a maybe.

An engaging book about life as an attorney for celebrities, mainly recording artists. Big names are naturally dropped mixed in with Mr. Mason’s life story.
As a matter of fact each chapter profiles his work for a specific recording artist. From Michael Jackson to Brian Wilson to Reba McEntire Mr Mason relays encounters he’s had with them through his work. What you won’t find is anything salacious, mean spirited or nasty about the stars. Occasionally his work leads to personal friendships. This is particularly true of Olivia Newton-John, whom he lovingly writes about. All in all an enjoyable walk down memory lane with a classy story teller.
