A rather fun book and a quick breeze to read. Even though it was about 400 pages, I had no trouble reading this in a day. A screwball comedy involving understudy Esther Diamond, suddenly the leading lady of the off-broadway show "Sorcerer!" when the original actress mysteriously disappears on stage. Esther then starts receiving warnings not to continue the part, and other people begin to disappear throughout the city, all in the middle of magic acts. A cast of eccentric characters and some memorable and amusing dialogue. I'm a little disappointed the second book (Dopplegangsters) is not out yet because of Luna books dropping the series. Dopplegangsters is set to be published by DAW in 2008.
