Summary: READ THIS BOOK!
Comment: Strongly recommended. "On Spec" is the real deal--an extremely funny and deft rendering of Hollywood ambition and absurdity. A modern-day "What Makes Sammy Run?"--but even sharper, more fun, funnier. Each voice--starlet, screenwriter, agent, producer--is dead-on, scathing. A must-read primer for anyone who has ever thought they'd like to make it in show-biz...it'll make you sweat with recognition. I'm ready for the next one--write on, Richard Rushfield. Simply a great read. Enjoy!

Summary: Brilliant!
Comment: I loved this. As a former "D-Girl", I recognized many of the characters in this book. The author has written an extremely hilarious take on what makes Hollywood tick. The book is not too far from the truth - the Writer (oblivious to what's actually happening to his script), the Agent (self-absorbed and loathsome), the Producer (taking credit for EVERYTHING), the Actress (doing what it takes and selling her soul for a truly pathetic chance at stardom). Take it with a grain of salt and enjoy it for what it is - a great, fun read.

Summary: Laughed Out Loud
Comment: Read this book in tandem with Joe Eszterhas' Hollywod Animal, and you'll see that Rushfield is write-on. Toss in Hollywood Interrupted and you have the Unholy Trinity of Truth about this city--even though one --Rushfield's -- purports to be fiction. well maybe in parts, but like Dominick Dunne, this guy knows how to hide the truth in fictional frosting so he won't get his ass kicked, or worse yet have to start asking if you'd like that double latte decafe'd...
His stuff in Vanity Fair is funny too...
