Quentin Tarantino's first novel, based upon his latest film, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. The novel is a great and nostalgic way to both enjoy the story via another medium but also allows Tarantino the opportunity to change some things around. The ending is nothing like the film so it's not a complete regurgitation of the story we already know. In addition, more depth and background are given to characters. The only knock I have against it is sometimes Quentin contradicts himself, where earlier in the book he'll say one thing, only to later completely state the opposite. Other than that, this was a very enjoyable read and I wish Tarantino would do this with all of his films (although I'm well aware of that not happening). If the film was a love letter to Hollywood, this is an encyclopedia, choke-full with shows, actors, directors, and songs of yesteryear. If you enjoyed the film, you'll enjoy this as well!
