"The Legend of Lacy Black" presents a fantastic but poorly executed idea. Filled with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age, it spins the tale of a renowned starlet, from her humble beginnings as abused child Lucinda Blackburn, spanning her career as the legendary Lacy Black and ending with her escape into anonymity.

While the idea of the story and the intrigue of the characters - including near-miss love story spanning the decades - the somewhat cliched dialogue and overall Mary-Sue quality of the main character become something of a turn-off.

Overall, it's a great idea with so much potential that, unfortunately, falls flat. Still worth a read, though it's not going to be making any great book of the ages lists.
