Child Star by Brian Box Brown
3.0
*Thanks to Netgalley for a free advance copy*
A fictionalized, docu-style treatment of child stars seems like a can't-miss concept, but it falls a little flat as the main character is mostly presented through the words of other people. I don't feel like this book contributed to the societal dialogue of child stars, but rather just re-made a familiar narrative in comic form.
