Hollywood East: The Sequel to a Sea of White Impatiens

Rating:
Summary: What a wonderful sequel!
Review: As much as I adored the first volume "A Sea Of White Impatiens", "Hollywood East" was just as much a treat. I really love the Gallagher family, especially Christian. I've worked in Central Florida with tourists in a similar atmosphere for years and believe me, Loren McLeod has these people down pat!! You will love the characters. I can't wait to read the next one :-)

Summary: This should be a movie
Review: Once again McLeod takes a group of people at a place (family, club, coworkers) and examines them one by one. As with all his characters, the ones in Hollywood East are funny. As usual, McLeod's narrator, Christian Gallagher, savages most of them and I feel guilty laughing. He does show compassion for one, who is a coworker whose hands and feet were burned by an abusive father. It's nice to see this side of Gallagher. I hope there's more of this side of the character in future books.
