Why read it?

1 author picked The Dream Merchants as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book held my interest as it is full of richly drawn characters during the early days of Hollywood's pioneers, from Nickelodeons to the early talkies. I like how the author uses an unusual timeline in a revealing way as the characters go backward and forward in time and also how he switches from first person to third person.
