Eve's Hollywood

Stumbled across this book by accident in a southern California library and opened it only reluctantly. But from page one, I was hooked, hooked, hooked. This gal can write books like tornadoes can tear up neighborhoods. Reading her (slightly fictionalized account) of growing up in LA was so thoroughly engrossing, I've tracked down and bought a (used) copy so I can re-read it from time to time - just to enjoy the verbal riffs she pulls off so (seemingly) effortlessly. If you liked Mary Karr's The Liar's Club, you'll LOVE this one. Reading it a second and third time is like returning to your favorite restaurant and being served the best meal in the world - over and over again. Deeply, richly, and very, very satisfying.Check it out. It's truly timeless. Truly.
