08 - Not A Star, by Nick Hornby, 69 pages, Gemma Media, 2009
WHY I PICKED IT: I read everything by Nick Hornby
ELAPSED TIME: <1 day
RATING: Good
This is a peculiar short story... about a Mom who finds out her son is an actor in porn movies... Not a star, mind you, just an actor. The thoughts that she goes through are quite interesting; but then, I think that's the point. How do you know how you'd react to something until it happens? Lynn is remarkably honest with herself, and despite the shock, quite zen about the knowledge. It's a good short story.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
