This noir novel set in Hollywood exposes more than the underbelly of the movie industry it features some of the base characteristics of people that the protagonist Marley has the misfortune to be involved with.  In particular the book seems to feast on the varieties of exploiters you should pray you will never meet.  I hesitate to say much about the plot as I don't want to spoil anything for the reader but I will say that a number of times the book actually made me feel quite ill.  If you appreciate a raw emotional examination of fathers and their children and of human beings in general, you will enjoy the book.  If not, proceed at your own risk as you'll find little in the way of the goodness of human beings within.(Note:  I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.)
