Helpful Score: 1
At first glance, you might think this is a book about post WWII New York, and the young people trying to make it on Broadway. This is sort of that, but much more. Joseph McCarthy figures large in this story, and the hunt for Communists in the entertainment field, particularly Broadway. While it is a good story, you have to keep reminding yourself that this is real, this really happened to people back in the fifties. It reads quickly, and has enough twists and turns to keep you reading.
