This one is a low three which is a real disappointment for me; I really enjoyed Hammond's Hannah's Dream so I was really looking forward to this one. The writing is fine...except for the fact that Hammond seems to feel obligated to name drop in this one. She drops names of products, stores, people. It makes the story timely, but always says to me that they author doesn't anticipate the book to have long-lasting draw. Also, I didn't feel like Hammond had much new to offer regarding child actors in Hollywood.

The story follows the pair, her husband who stayed back in Seattle, and various other people that they encounter in LA. I felt it moved a bit slow and just when I thought the story was picking up I was at the end of the book. Story about a mother and daughter who go to LA to find acting work for the child.

Seeing Stars depicts child actors in Hollywood and the struggles that they and their families face in trying to “live the dream.” There were quite a few characters in the book, whose stories often overpowered the story of Ruth and Bethany, a mother daughter pair who move to Hollywood, leaving behind friends and family. The sacrifices that Ruth makes, especially with regard to her marriage, illustrate what a child actor and their family must endure and the disappointment that may follow a move to Hollywood.I found this book sad and depressing. The parents pushed their children, often leaving them with their agent for months at a time, to accomplish the dream of fame. Overall, this was a slow-paced read and was drawn out long past my interest. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
