funny and charming March 24, 2004 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
From the moment of the very public viewing of young Henry Powdermaker's bombshell of a movie exposing what goes on in his parents room at night, I was hooked. What I expected to be a pleasant but superficial homage to films turned into a very amusing bittersweet tale with Henry growing up using his love of film to make sense of a otherwise unpredictable world.Henry is a easily likeable but fallible character who has enough depth and charisma to keep the story flowing well: Sean Condon uses subtle and believable humour throughout. The main difficulty I found was identifying with some of the older films that are referenced by Henrys character throughout the text, but these are well described and although I felt I was missing some deeper humour at times, the story remains fluid. It kept me throughly intereased and awake through night shifts which underlines its accessability. I recommend this book
