As someone across the ditch in Aotearoa, I fucking loved Lu’s humour! His satirical voice remained engaging while wading through some cooked-as-shit realities of Hollywood & most importantly, society. 

It’s an amazingly unique layout/style. It took me a while to orient myself in order to make sense of the book, but despite the added difficulties for reading-flow, I’m bloody happy I stuck it out. In short, it reads as a transcript of a documentary.
