This novel is the first of its kind in a way, but it lacks the depth to become something truly great. It doesn't show the rehearsals and hard work that goes into being an artist, and avoids the shift in perspective that comes from a change in status. Given, if you have never experienced it, there is no way you will know how to wrote about it. Still, this novel is a good, amateur-like, interpretation of a multi-talented, famous person, but don't expect any deep insight or anything beyond superficial approximations of what its like to be famous.
