review 1: A perfect book to read at this phase in my career, Freud's book follows the careers of several actors from the same class at the Drama School in London. If this complete work of fiction is to be believed, it confirms a lot of what I was thinking about my future, namely that there will be ups and downs, peaks and valleys, but mostly it's about survival and love. Nothing comes easy to any of these characters in the book, but they all keep cruising along, whether they make it, or did make it and give up, or don't make it. It gives great insight into the absurd mind of the actor, one that is never satisfied. I really enjoyed it for a nice, quick novel, especially for actors
review 2: I had high hopes for this book because of the theme (young actors meet at super in... moretense british theater school) but the author has no idea how to properly build characters we care about. Her pacing is beyond awkward- we leap from time period to time period with little transition. She may be trying to communicate via 'small scenes' but it simply does not hang together as a coherent whole. Some of the characters are just so blank that I could not remember them halfway through the book. A very big miss. The dialogue is also confusing and dull. less
