LisaLynne | Dec 2, 2012 | Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I wasn't really able to get into this book and I was looking forward to it since I had read the early review description. Aside from the very slow start, I was never able to connect with Ardennes Thrush and that made it very difficult to really care what was going on or happening to her. For a book billed as a psychological thriller, having all the action happen to the main character, who is very passive, doesn't measure up for me. It was interesting to get an "inside" look at Hollywood, and the strange manipulations of those in it, but, unfortunately, the tedium of the action and the passivity of the characters cannot make up for it. This is not a book I can highly recommend. (  ) chensel477 | Sep 20, 2012 | Ardennes Thrush is a literate, intelligent individual who hasn't really been doing much of anything since she retired from acting. Exactly why she retired is something that remains unclear, and is left open to the reader's interpretation. To be honest, the novel is a little boring - but it's possible this is on purpose. Here is this glamorous former movie star, hanging out in her hotel room and spying on her neighbors. People who are trying to be invisible, even when they're quietly suffering a nervous breakdown, are often kind of boring. Despite the slight tedium of the novel, I did enjoy many aspects of it. In particular, it is obvious that the writer is herself a huge fan of reading. Reading the words of someone else who is a fan of literature can often be a beautiful experience, and reading this novel does sometimes inspire the reader to devour great works of literature. Difficult to recommend, because of the boring factor. Perhaps suited to those who like acting, reading, or a combination of the two. shellyquade2 | May 29, 2012 | Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. ) debavp | Apr 8, 2012 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Fiction.
Literature.
HTML:Ardennes Thrush is an award winning movie star who has suddenly and mysteriously quit acting at the height of her fame. She is in Hollywood, at the Hotel Muse, visiting Andre, her husband, who is a world-renowned director and is at work on his latest movie. Ardennes, a contemplative woman, is a bit of a voyeur, and as she watches the comings and goings in the hotel, she begins to realize that something is strange; perhaps she is being stalked. When a box of dead flowers arrives she calls the police. And when the detective arrives to investigate, their attraction is immediate, powerful, and quickly carnal. After their first encounter, desire, guilt and fear combine in Ardennes, and the tension rises in the strange, labyrinthine Hotel Muse. Then her stalker arrives at the door of her suite, pulls a gun, forces Ardennes to leave and locks her in a closet. While the detective searches for the actress, we watch rapt as Ardennes, in the darkest of narrow straits, not only tries to free herself but also ponders why this is happening to her, how she brought herself here, and what all the men in her life have had to do with it. At once a noir novel and a psychological thriller about the complicated emotions of a beautiful, modern celebrity, Hollywood Boulevard is downright compelling. And Ardennes Thrush is a character that readers wonâ??t be able to take their eyes off Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Unfortunately this inertia bleeds into the plot and honestly not a whole lot happens and I was left unsatisfied and wanting the end to live up to the beginning.
