Exciting
Mr Weinberger, your book was okay. I always thought Hollywood was a cesspool of drugs and what-not, but I did enjoy the book and it kept up at night. If you get time, read Hollywood Con Man. It's harsh, but true. Not for children. I hope you write more books about Hollywood. Anne

Hilarious, Perceptive and Well Written
Having seen a spread about "Wannabe" and Weinberger in People Magazine, I was anxious to read this book. I was not disappointed--it was side-splitting funny! Unlike other unabashed "Kiss-and-Tell" books about Hollywood, this one subtly made a point about the so-called "glamour" world of Hollywood. The helicopter lovemaking scene was worth the price of admission alone.

A spirited review of life in Hollywood...
Everett Weinberger must be commended on an excellent book. It is a quick read, but that by no means it is one without much merit. His odyssey through Hollywood reflects the craziest hopes of many readers. His honesty, humor, and pursuit of his dreams are to be admired. We certainly learn much about how Hollywood works. As I look back, I see Weinberger as a lone man holding a flashlight to the darkness behind the bright illusions that Hollywood projects. Even more, it is a diary of one man's ability to chase his dream and finally come to terms with where his life is headed. His ability to accept his destiny (not one he had imagined when he headed to LA) in life and embrace it just may be the most valuable lesson his book teaches.
