The book is very good. The first time I read it, I was 20 years old, maybe 19. The film is very trashy, it doesn't match the richness of details (ok, this is common and always happens when transferring pages to screens). If you watch the film first, you certainly won't be excited to read the book. Do the opposite, start with the book.
Do the opposite, start with the book. The drama that Jill Temple faces to achieve stardom, as well as the trajectory of comedian Tobby, are intriguing and keep reading. Both of their lives are painful, always fighting for a place in the sun. The supporting characters are interesting too.
