The Gross
From AudioFile
The title is a double entendre referring to movie box office income and commenting on "the creepy crawly feeling" of the movie business. With lively informality and sarcasm, an industry journalist details the "profligate strategies" of the summer of 1998 and their outcomes-"a study of Hollywood hubris." Jonathon Tindle serves up this entertaining read with a cocky air that perfectly complements the author's tone. His rapid tempo makes the text sound even cleverer than it is. Y.R.
