Summary: A funny and literate satire
Comment: This was my first Lefcourt book. I was too cheap to buy the 11 Karens in paperback, so here I was looking at an old (1991) novel that I could buy and be happy with. As old fan of Hollywood books and novels, this ranks among the funniest I've read. It is a quick read, but more satisfying than the typical Hollywood farce. It tells you more than you wanted to know about Benjamin Disraeli. However, the satire does not get out of hand and somehow you could almost envision the plot twists actually happening in real life. The book is well written and funny as can be. I hope the reprint wins Lefcourt new fans. I'm one. The book really gets Hollywood. Bravo!

Summary: Good read
Comment: If you're looking for a fast, funny read, you will not be disappointed with The Deal. The plot is intricate, the action is non-stop, and the characters are outlandish, especially the industry's movers and shakers-the extras-that Lefcourt takes great delight in lampooning.
Rating: 5
Summary: Orginal, lighthearted take on the strange world of Hollywood
Comment: Peter Lefcourt could've given us a savage portrayal of studios meanies. Instead he gives us a fun world of open minded, flexible studio outsiders who make anything and everything happen on the way to producing what is supposed to be a blockbuster film. You'll like the characters - they're a little sweet and goofy even though Lefcourt shows that they can be vapid. It's a lot of fun.
