Quick Review: The Starcrossed

The Starcrossed by Ben Bova


My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An amusing tale of the crazy mid-1970s television industry. It’s told as a science fiction story, but isn’t really necessary. It’s based on the adventures of Ben Bova and Harlan Ellison in the making of The Starlost, a pathetic 1973 science fiction show. I’m sure there are lots of inside jokes for those who know the backstory, but it’s not necessary to appreciate the antics of these outrageous characters and their scheming. I laughed out loud...
