Quentin Tarantino's long-awaited first work of fiction - at once hilarious, delicious, and brutal - is the always surprising, sometimes shocking new novel based on his Academy Award-winning film.

RICK DALTON - Once he had his own TV series, but now Rick's a washed-up villain-of-the week drowning his sorrows in whiskey sours. Will a phone call from Rome save his fate or seal it?

CLIFF BOOTH - Rick's stunt double, and the most infamous man on any movie set because he's the only one there who might have gotten away with murder . . .

SHARON TATE - She left Texas to chase a movie-star dream, and found it. Sharon's salad days are now spent on Cielo Drive, high in the Hollywood Hills.

CHARLES MANSON - The ex-con's got a bunch of zonked-out hippies thinking he's their spiritual leader, but he'd trade it all to be a rock 'n' roll star.

HOLLYWOOD 1969 - YOU SHOULDA BEEN THERE


Review
Outrageous and addictively readable... The book is a reminder that Tarantino is, in fact, a really good writer, and it should not be so surprising that his brilliance as a screenwriter should be transferable into fiction. ― Guardian

The book is a distinct experience - rangier, sexier, bloodier ... Classic, sparks-flying Tarantino ... The start of a new direction for this relentlessly inventive director. ― Washington Post

The rollicking debut novel by Quentin Tarantino is a seamless, seamy blend of fact and fiction ― The Times

The rat-a-tat pace of a screenplay ... Tarantino's concern here is world-building, luxuriating in an era and a genre that he is clearly fascinated by ... with undeniable flair ― Evening Standard

This book boasts some tremendous scenes, with magical dialogue, that I wouldn't have missed for the world ― Daily Telegraph

    Years ago, when the man had some talent, his screenplays were often given away free. But his last four films have been utter stinkers- 100% writing and plotting failures. Shame his talent could not have kept up with his ego.

    His films are mainly the same film repackaged in different scenarios. The one that really was good, Jackie Brown, was a flop, so he just kept on putting out the same stuff slightly rejigged. (edited)
