I've loved Molly Gloss's other books and was prepared to like this one. What a disappointment! There is too much information about a boring subject: how cowboy movies were made pre-World War II. She describes the process in exhausting detail, and it never gets interesting. The good parts of the book are the chapters about the protagonist's family back in Oregon. THAT would have made an excellent book in itself, and then she could have devoted maybe a chapter to the son who left home to try to get into the movie business. But as it is, unless you have an interest in the main subject of the book, I can't recommend it.
