Journal Entry 1 by indygo88 from Lafayette, Indiana USA on Saturday, June 13, 2009

"Karen Jacobs has landed the job of a lifetime at New York’s hottest film studio, Glorious Pictures, which is headed by a pair of famously competitive and ambitious brothers, Phil and Tony Waxman. The young publicist quickly finds herself with an all-access pass to the tantrums, whims, follies, neuroses, and unimaginable egos of the celebrities who star in Glorious’s films -- but this comes as no surprise. It’s the absolute insanity inside the company that knocks her for a loop. Extremely competitive and cutthroat, the Glorious executives continuously search for ways to outdo, outscheme, and outmaneuver each other in their attempts to impress the Waxmans. In the tradition of The Devil Wears Prada, real-life movie publicist Rachel Pine’s razor-sharp satire captures perfectly the behind-the-scenes machinations of the film industry in all its glory."

Picked this up at a garage sale for $1. (Abridged on 5 CD's; read by Ana Gasteyer)

Journal Entry 8 by BigJohnLefty at Des Moines, Iowa USA on Tuesday, October 04, 2011

Pulled this one out of booklady331's CD-only AudioBookBox, which arrived over the weekend.

Never heard of this author - looking at the cover blurg, I'd say it will be another one of those "chick lit" novels that's sort of a guilty pleasure for me..... 

Journal Entry 9 by BigJohnLefty at Des Moines, Iowa USA on Monday, October 24, 2011

This was an interesting story about some of the inner workings of a studio and how movies are made - of course it had a little too much of the usual name-dropping, celebrity-gossip that so many books like this have.

will release soon.....

The Twins of Tribeca by Rachel Pine

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I registered a book at BookCrossing.com!
http://www.BookCrossing.com/journal/10305537

This probably benefited from being abridged on CD.This was a lot like "The Devil Wears Prada", I assume this book is about working for the Weinstein brothers at Miramax, oddly Miramax was the publisher of the book. Typical chick lit story of a girl who goes to work for a big company in the entertainment industry and gets verbally abused by everyone above her.

I did like this better than "Devil...Prada" but not by much.
