Confession: I understood none of the plan that took up 2/3 of the book. I am constitutionally indisposed to action and action sequences and find "fast-moving" stories boring. I can't keep character's convoluted plans and double-crosses clear in my head because I guess I just can't care about them.

I like character development, and there really wasn't any here, but there were characters I've become fond of. I'm glad to have seen the story through to its conclusion. The Hollywood and Arcadia of this series are interesting places, and I hope if the author returns to them, she will focus more on the characters and less on the frantic plotting.
