The Deer Park

Summary: Most Provoctive Book I've Read In Years
Review: 'The Deer Park' should become compulsary reading for the human race - forget school reading lists. It is an absolute masterpiece and Mailer's way words could knock Donna Tartt (author of Secret History) for six any day of the week. If you want to read a real masterpiece - sink your teeth into Mailer's 'Deer Park.' James P. Robinson

Summary: marion faye deserves his own book, eitel not a page
Review: i was a little disapointed that this book was so much about the world of actors,producers,and directors. i was hoping for more out right debauchary and vice.mostly i think it was focused way to much on the director eitel.i found him less than interesting, i would have thought this book a waste of my time if it wasnt for the burnout spiritual pimp,marion faye.he was the shadow in the background of all the movie people living in the spotlight.this shadow was my light.a book focused on marion would be a book of a god in the shadows.instead this book was focused on a bunch of arrogant show buisness pepople.

Summary: Lacking any form of life......
Review: That is the best way to describe this book. The characters are flat and uninteresting. The romances lack any passion. Furthermore, Mailer does a poor job of describing the setting. The book was so poor that I stopped reading it one hundred pages from the end.

Summary: Another book review
Review: yeah, this book's pretty good if you like strong characters and no storyline. Its set in the 50s in a desert town populated by rich and powerful Hollywood people, and our hero wanders around getting to know these corrupt, weird and sometimes dangerous characters without anything really happening. But hey, its insightful and written with real verve by Mr Mailer, just don't expect too much from the storyline.
