4.0 out of 5 stars Look out, Hollywood!, 8 Jul 1996
By A Customer
Charles Bukowski goes semi-commercial to the dismay of many old fans, the book offers a mainstream version of FACTOTUM. But the writing is of higher quality, and Buk shines through. Look for celebs in the book under false names... Mickey Rourke, Faye Dunaway... check the credits of the movie and then re-read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amusing and interesting, 6 Sep 2008
By Paul Holland (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hollywood (Paperback)
Charles Bukowski's minimal style, always egotistical and mostly alcohol affected is concerned in this book with his succesful attempt to see a screenplay (for Barfly) become a reality.
Names are changed but it is fun to read Bukowski's views on the movers and shakers in 1980's Hollywood.
The womanising and drinking are subdued (due to being married) and even a hedonistic rebel such as Bukowski comes across as conventional compared to the weirdness and double-dealing that appears to be Hollywood.
Not neccesarily a good first Bukowski read (try Post Office or Factotum) but nevertheless good fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still good, 21 April 2008
By Dillinger (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollywood (Paperback)
Another Bukowski novel - this one written late in his life - which on my first reading I felt wasnt up to his other novels. However I recently revisited and found it amusing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Not the best of his writing. Lacks the fire of his other novels and left me cold. If you've read the other novels then move to the short stories or poetry. Read more
