2011 book 293

Esther Freud's Lucky Break
Before you ask, yes, Freud is the descendent of that other Freud. Anyway, this novel involves a trio of British drama students and their travails in drama school and afterward. I do wish Freud had delved into their inner lives a bit more; I didn't feel like I knew them well or knew what they wanted really (the male character was especially lacking). It felt like it would be a satisfying movie, but there was no depth here. I mean, it's interesting enough, don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure what the point of it was. B.
