Celebrity Fatigue
Haven't we heard this story before? This book is a barely fictionalized amalgamation of several tell-all Hollywood memoirs, written by embittered daughters about their movie star mothers. It was never a pretty story, and the reader needs a persuasive argument to travel down that road again. This story rambles and whines, without ever justifying the trouble it takes to travel its dull and meandering paths.

Not "Marvellous"
Anne Enright's novel, Actress, sparked my interest in the first pages, but, sadly that first impression was not sustained. The two main characters are mother, actress Katherine, and daughter, Norah. Memories concerning their relationship and circle of friends rambled all over creation. Katherine's favorite word, marvelous, definitely can not be used to describe this book. I could not recommend it.
