Hearing the siren call of Holy Wood is one Victor Tugelbend, a would-be wizard turned extra. He can't sing, he can't dance, but he can handle a sword (sort of), and now he wants to be a star.

Frases para recordar

4 stars

Finas ironías y chistes al más puro estilo Pratchett, esta vez con el mundo del espectáculo y la fama como diana. Quizá echo en falta más profundidad de los personajes al ser una historia ajena a las cuatro grandes líneas argumentales.

Al final le falta algo.
