    <![CDATA[In the Hollywood of the future there's no need for actors since any star can be digitally recreated and inserted into any movie. Yet young Alis wants to dance on the silver screen. Tom tries to dissuade her, but he fears she will pursue her dream--and likely fall victim to Hollywood's seamy underside, which is all to eager to swallow up naive actresses. Then Tom begins to find Alis in the old musicals he remakes, and he has to ask himself just where the line stands between reality and the movies.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Good, (very) short novel by the fabulous Connie Willis. This story is absolutely packed with references to classic films. Once I realized that she was writing the main character as Fredric March (see &quot;Nothing Sacred&quot; 1937), everything fell into place for me. If you love films of the '30s &amp;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76886266">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Winner of more Hugo and Nebula Awards than any other science fiction author, Connie Willis is one of the most powerfully imaginative writers of our time.

It's a Hollywood where Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe are starring together in A Star Is Born, and if you don't like the ending, you can change it with the stroke of a key.<p>A Hollywood of warmbodies and sim-sex, of drugs and special effects, where anything is possible. Except for what one starry-eyed young woman wants to do: dance in the movies. It's an impossible dream, but Alis is not willing to give up.

    <body><![CDATA[I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it captures the amazing power of the movies—to move us, captivate us, even transform us—but parts of it, the ending especially, feel rushed. It's a relatively short novel (only 140 pages) that deals with a complex, fascinating world that is...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1979588">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another interesting sci-fi book from the talented Connie Willis. I'm generally not a fan of the whole time-travel genre but for the second time she's managed to make it quite interesting yet ultimately not as satisfying as her book <em><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77773.To_Say_Nothing_of_the_Dog" title="To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis">To Say Nothing of the Dog</a></em> which was fantastic.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24559201">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In the Hollywood of the future there's no need for actors since any star can be digitally recreated and inserted into any movie. Yet young Alis wants to dance on the silver screen. Tom tries to dissuade her, but he fears she will pursue her dream--and likely fall victim to Hollywood's seamy underside, which is all to eager to swallow up naive actresses. Then Tom begins to find Alis in the old musicals he remakes, and he has to ask himself just where the line stands between reality and the movies.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't love this as much as Willis' other books, but I still enjoyed all of the old movie references.  (Esp. the prominent references to Philadelphia Story, my favorite movie, which I've apparently seen enough times to notice Willis' slight misquoting of its dialogue.)]]></body>

It's a Hollywood where Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe are starring together in A Star Is Born, and if you don't like the ending, you can change it with the stroke of a key.<p>A Hollywood of warmbodies and sim-sex, of drugs and special effects, where anything is possible. Except for what one starry-eyed young woman wants to do: dance in the movies. It's an impossible dream, but Alis is not willing to give up. With a little magic and a lot of luck, she just might get her happy ending after all.<p>&quot;Another brilliant work by an author deserving of the praise and awards heaped upon her.&quot;<p>-- Des Moines Sunday Register</p></p></p></p></p>]]>
