Intelligent page-turner
An intriguing twist on standard whodunits with a rich stew of Holywood-in-Manhattan characters. The whole thing is a little gaudier than reality, but intelligent and well-written enough to enjoy it. The main character, Uncle Chubby, is from the first page intriguing; the first-person author, a literate foil to the television excesses. The characters are thoroughly interesting, and the writing is sharp and full of the right kind of detail. And the whole thing moves along. Great entertainment, while occasionally provoking a thought.

Please reprint D. Handler's books - somebody, anybody!
I love reading D. Handler's books, but it's extremely difficult to find them. This title is indicative of the author's great sense of humor, ability to inhabit his story with well-written characters (granted, rather obnoxious and odious people - but, hey, he has to, he's writing about the television industry), and oodles of motive. Although sometimes I find Hoagy a tad snooty and snobbish, he means well, and he always gets the bad guy/girl at the end. When is Handler's next book coming out? An inquiring mind wants to know.
