Jeff Greenstein, executive producer of Will and Grace, said Rick Copp’s The Actor’s Guide to Greed is “Queer Eye for the Dead Guy.” After suffering through this book, I have to agree. Only a dead guy could stand it. It was the worst piece of schlock I have read in a long, long time. I only finished the book so I could write a scathing review.

So many f-words could be used to describe this book. Let’s go through them alphabetically:
Fail – as it “the premise totally fails to entertain or captivate the discerning reader.”
Flat – as in “the plot fell flat;” as in “the dialogue sounded flat;” as in “I am flat out annoyed with this author.
Flop – as in “this book will be quickly forgotten like all other flops.”
Free – as in “free was too much to pay for this book.”

That was my polite review. I have more f-words that aren’t acceptable for this site. If you’re that curious about them, then read the book. You’ll come up with some of your own.

Delicious, delightful, de-lovely. Non-gay reader friendly since the sex is delicately handled. The main character will lath on to some, cause others to run screaming...which I think of as a recommendation, not a warning. ( )

In this third outing, Jarrod Jarvis, openly gay actor and former child star, is offered a part in a play on the London stage. Since his cop boyfriend is recovering from a gunshot wound, Jarrod goes to England alone, leaving plenty of opportunity for the insecure Jarrod to imagine all kinds of problems in his relationship. When the star of the play is murdered while on stage, Jarrod is implicated and must investigate the crime to clear his name.
I enjoyed the characters and the dialogue is humorous. I got a little impatient with the continued misunderstandings between Jarrod and Charlie, but this probably happens frequently between couples.
The book is a nice, light read. I think that the earlier entries in the series were better, but this may only be because they were new and fresh. ( )
