The reader is almost unable to bear the suspense. The climax is stunning, a nightmare scenario guaranteed to make the blood run cold.

The store of Toby Temple, super star and super bastard, adored by his vast tv and movie public yet isolated from real, human contact by his own suspicion and distrust.
And the story of Jill Castle, who came to Hollywood to be a star and discovered she had to buy her way with her body.
A lonely man. A disillusioned girl, pursuing dreams of stardom and carrying a terrible secret. In a world of predators, they are bound to each other by a love so ruthless, so strong, it is more than human - and less.

I enjoyed this book. A little Hollywood for what I normally read. It took awhile for the story to get going but overall a good book.

The typical rags to riches plot. I did not enjoy reading this book, but it did have some moments. How vindictive and self-destroying one becomes with fame and glory.

Santa delayed. The problem is his pants; the cleaner has mistakenly sent them to N.Y.C. plutocrat Rich Rump, and the arrogant Rump won't even listen to Santa's urgent tale of woe. Neither will anyone else; unrecognized, he's arrested for loitering and sentenced to six months--during which Christmas doesn't happen and the economy languishes. By the time Santa emerges, Rump is trying to peddle the pants on a street corner and has mellowed enough to present them to Santa as a gift (``They're so you''). And Christmas finally comes!
