Kurzbeschreibung

The rules are simple in the entertainment industry: Play the game, get burned!

Talented and hedonistic, British rock star Wolf Taylor is in rehab to garner publicity for the new album and doesn’t see why he shouldn’t have a little fun while taking one for the band. Love doesn’t figure in his long-term plans, so the last thing he banks on is developing feelings for a fellow patient, Luna Halliwell.

Luna falls for Wolf and is spun up in his hectic lifestyle and pressured by relentless media scrutiny. His friend, Lexie Hunter - a tabloid favourite for her bad behaviour as much as her fashion editorials – leads the merry motley crew, gleefully mentoring Luna in her struggle for perfection. But when the press drop a bombshell about Wolf's past, Luna realises being half of a hot celebrity couple isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

A romantic, black-tinged comedy. 404 pages.

A surprisingly enjoyable read 15. März 2012

It took me a long time to finish SWALLOW by Ilyria Moon, but I read a lot of things at once, and with a longish book like this, that was to be expected.

The most important thing to point out here is that Moon's confidence and skill as a writer permeate the book from the opening chapter to the closing one. Although her book is longish, rare are the passages that feel stretched out or lacking in that "moving the story forward" synergy that all good reads possess.

Her tale of a rehabbing British rocker and the unexpected romance he finds on his way to sobriety is entertaining on both the romantic and comedic levels it is striving for. Wolf and Luna appeal and transfix, even in their odder moments.

Clocking in at around 140,000 words or so, Swallow might seem a bit longish for a rom-com; but that's before you begin to read it and get swept up in the journey of the characters, and the lean skill of Moon's prose. Despite the time it took me, the book never feels like it's dragging things out that much, and instead casts its scope around a slightly broader cast than the average rom-com.

By the time SWALLOW concludes, the read ends up feeling satisfying and complete, rather than a thin slice of life. While some readers may prefer a slimmer tome for light reading, SWALLOW delivers a generous tale, told well. While not without the odd niggling flaw, SWALLOW ended up being a better read than I ever anticipated. And I challenge anyone who's seen GET HIM TO THE GREEK and the remake of ARTHUR not to envision Russell Brand fitting into this role quite nicely, should it ever become a movie. Not sure who to peg for Luna... Karen Gillan, perhaps? Or maybe even Evanna Lynch, already well familiar to roles involving characters named Luna.

In any event, count SWALLOW as an unexpectedly good read. Then swallow your aversion to longer books and get to reading. Well done.
Sassy & slick... 12. Oktober 2011
Von David Makinson - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
At first glance, a book entitled 'Swallow' with a pouting girl emblazoned on the cover isn't the sort of book I would normally choose to read. However, the one thing that the e-book revolution has taught me is not to jump to hasty conclusions about any book. I was glad that I shed my inhibitions and dived head-first into this story - sex, drugs and rock n'roll all the way.

Whilst undoubtedly raunchy, this book is extremely slick, well written and explores most graphically the disfunctional and excessive existence of the wilder elements of the 'celebrity' and 'groupie' culture. The contemporary dialogue is excellent and keeps the story moving at an appropriate rate. I wondered several times whether the author, Ilyria Moon had indeed bought the 'tee-shirt' such is her apparent insight into the characters and lifestyles depicted in the story - but that's for other readers to judge or for Ilyria to kiss and tell, not for me to spoil.

I think this book is cracking value and well worth the time spent reading it...
