Captivating exploration of fame, ambition and surfing.

This is a book for anyone who loves a story about the cost of ambition and the lengths people will go to in order to achieve fame. The novel’s unique feature is its combination of a coming-of-age story with a tale of the dark side of the entertainment industry. Through the narrative, readers will gain insight into the compromises that people make on their journey to the top. Malcolm Knox's writing style in this novel is a perfect balance of eloquence, humor, and honesty, making for a searing read that will leave a lasting impression on readers.
