This book's beginning drew me in right away.  Alluding to the time around Adam and Eve and the Serpant, we're immediately transported to an actress who is apparently hiding a secret.  The book races forward after that, telling the story of an unforgiving child, Heidi, and Merle's desperation to make something of herself in contemporary Hollywood.Honestly I wasn't sure what to make of the book right away, and it took me a little while to get into it.  The characters are distinct and well written, but difficult to relate to and understand at times.  The writing itself is very skilled and well done, the prose giving just the right amount of detail without weighing you down with too much information.By the end of the book I was invested.  It wasn't the most satisfying ending I had ever read, but it was fitting, and I couldn't see the book ending any other way.  I don't want to give out too many spoilers, because it's well worth a read.  I'm giving this book four of five stars and recommend this highly.
