Immensely Enjoyable Hollywood Novel

A breezy novel of Hollywood in the vein of Jackie Collins, "The Boys in the Mail Room" charts the rise of four ambitious young men through the ranks of the Hollywood studio system, starting in the 60s. Author Iris Rainer (who later penned "Beaches") has created an engaging portrait of the price of fame and the long, challenging climb to the top. Be advised, this was written in 1980, and one of the characters is a homosexual, and as was the condition of the time, most of the other characters view this lifestyle with contempt and disdain...its an interesting footnote to how things have (thankfully) changed for the better in our more enlightened times.

Extremely Poignant

The book is simply excellent. It could be that I'm 22 and identify with a lot of the plot lines, but I also think it is a book that I will always enjoy reading. The Characters are developed nicely and you can't help but root for them on their journeys.

Hollywood?

This story was very good, however, it was also very sexual. Several times I found myself blushing. Although I really grew to care about the characters and what happened to them. It made me never want to move to L.A.
