A review by alexrobinsonsupergenius
Sunnyside by Glen David Gold
5.0
Chaplin is only one of the characters in the book, with nearly equal time given to two other young men whose destinies are caught in the grip of the Great War. Luckily I enjoy the silent movie era and WW1 so this book was right up my alley, as the kids say.
The book has a huge cast of characters and the narrator does a fine job keeping them distinctive though his uniquely bass voice makes for an interesting fit with the more dainty characters (ie: Mary Pickford). It did make me want rewatch some Chaplin films so that’s a plus.
