My Thoughts on When A Star Starts As An Extra
"When A Star Starts As An Extra" is a fascinating dive into the entertainment industry, and I found myself thoroughly enjoying the journey. It's a story that prioritizes the protagonist's professional growth, making the romance a delightful slow-burn that sneaks up on you. If you're looking for a story packed with industry detail and character development, this might be right up your alley.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of a lawyer turned actor. The main character's personality is definitely unique – a little unserious, perhaps even narcissistic, but ultimately likeable. I was immediately curious to see how his legal background would influence his approach to the cutthroat world of showbiz. The early chapters set a good pace, introducing a cast of characters that felt surprisingly grounded and human.
What Works Well
The attention to detail in portraying the entertainment industry is what truly elevates this novel. It's clear the author has done their research. The story doesn't rush the protagonist's rise to fame. Instead, it depicts a gradual climb, with each project contributing to his growing reputation. I especially appreciated how the characters weren't just cardboard cutouts. Even those who seemed like antagonists had their own motivations and complexities, making the story feel much more realistic. The slow-burn romance is also a highlight. It's not the main focus, but the subtle development of the relationship between the protagonist and his love interest is satisfying. The characters age throughout the story, adding to the sense of realism and growth.
Areas of Concern
While the slow-burn romance appealed to me, some readers looking for a more prominent love story might find it lacking. The focus is overwhelmingly on the protagonist's career, so be prepared for a story where the romance takes a backseat.
