casperfalls 's review for:

Finding My Elf by David Valdes

---

Not for me, sorry. The concept sounded great and I liked the love interest, but I couldn't stand the main character at all. Also, people have pointed out that it's poorly researched in terms of setting. I think it's kinda unrealistic in terms of the MC's acting studies as well. I got my BFA in acting and I tell you, it's *very* hard to fail all your acting classes, especially in the first semester. Instructors usually rate on effort, craft, and commitment, not on talent, so the whole premise of him not being talented enough and hence failing? I don't know. I didn't go to NYU, but that seems very antithetical to what freshman acting classes are like.
