Twenty-four year-old Russel Middebrook and his boyfriend have moved to Los Angeles so Russel can try to make it as a screenwriter.

Almost right away, in a forgotten old house off of Sunset Boulevard, Russel meets Isaac Brander, a once-famous film producer who is convinced he can turn Russel's screenplay into a movie.

Russel knows that success can't possibly come this easy. After all, most of Russel's Los Angeles friends are so desperate to make it that it's downright scary. His ex-boyfriend, Otto, is trying everything to become an actor, and Daniel, the sexy neighbor, doesn't even need a casting couch to get naked.

So what's the catch with Mr. Brander? Could it be that movies about Hollywood don't tell the whole truth? But what does that mean for Russel's soul?

Já foi melhor

Todos os outros livros que contam com a presença do Russel são incrivelmente melhores que este. O foco se volta demais ao interesse dele por ser roteirista, e acaba deixando a leitura bastante sem graça e tediosa.
A verdade é que o Clube de Geografia é o melhor dos livros, e os plots que envolvem toda a fase adolescente do Russel são muito mais interessantes do que as da fase adulta dele.
Portanto, não recomendaria a leitura dessa fase da vida dele.
