Customer Reviews
Thrilling, Engaging & Promising
The Fall is a part of the Hollywood Thriller series, something I wasn't aware of. So, you have been given a disclaimer as I power on with my review. This is my first read of Shari Low and Ross King, and it was delightful. This book is heavy on the narrative style across three characters, and its execution is well done, for it kept me engaged. You do not have to read the other two books to understand the premise, but it can get overwhelming with the number of supporting characters. I promise you it gets better with every page.
Out of the three characters, Davie's wit and banter with his ex-wife and his fiance made me giggle and was a standout. Mirren and Xander have a more serious undertone as their challenges are painful, insightful and reflective. The Oscars are used as the present, and the plot powers on through different vantage points of the past. The integration of the current plight of Hollywood, along with the pop culture references, made this book refreshing.
Overall, I recommend this read if you're enamoured with the fame and glamour of Hollywood or if you're looking for something light to read. However, I recommend reading books one and two first to understand the characters and their motivations better.
