I read James Polster's "Brown" before this. That was good, this did not disappoint. The book follows lead character Blackwell James as he tries to complete his studies but it isn't a boring book about someone attending lectures where they are taught uncomprehensible academic waffle. Instead Blackwell gets mixed up in the Hollywood movie business and a whole madcap adventure unfolds around him.
The book is split into three distinct parts (each begins from chapter 1), a beginning, middle and end. The beginning part was a little slow perhaps, the middle was a forest drug-fuelled adventure and part three brought the novel to a thrilling climax.
Compared with the previous Polster novel I read this book is a more serious novel with less emphasis on the humour, although it still has fun, quirky elements, and the storyline is probably better and less far-fetched.
Recommended.
(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is available to buy here.)
