Editorial Reviews

Product Description
It is 1948. Robert Rosedale is an ambitious twenty-eight year old and a recent graduate from the University of Pennsylvania. He faces a dilemma: Continue his graduate studies and a life analyzing the GNP, or pursue a long-held desire, a career in the theater as a play producer. He opts for the latter when he overhears two old gentlemen discussing their lives while sunning on the Atlantic City beach. Ben Meyer, impressed with Robert and his spiel bankrolls the Wunderkind to blossom on Broadway with a surprising hit. By this time, Robert has acquired all the accoutrements of his rapid success, including a lovely assistant, Dolores, his confidant and glorious bed partner. Intrigued by the publicity of the play and its dynamic young producer, Hollywood starts a bidding war for the movie rights. Lucas Hollander, of Hollander films makes an offer impossible to reject. The fact that Hollander has a daughter, Stephanie, designed by the Gods, had not been anticipated. However, things are seldom what they seem, and for Robert, the realization hits with sledgehammer force, sexually, morally and philosophically. He is compelled to make a soul searching decision that will alter his life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money., December 1, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Hollander's Deal (Paperback)
Perhaps Mr. Richman should stick to acting. He's written a book alright--it's got ink, paper--even a dust jacket, but one wonders why he decided to leave the lucrative world of character acting for the literary life. The book is shamefully autobiographical--perhaps typical of the cultivated Hollywood ego. The plot is uninteresting, the characters are one dimensional, and the language so contrived it's almost laughable. Save the money you would have spent on this one, and, if you really want to see Mr. Richman's finest work, go rent reruns of "Three's Company".

4.0 out of 5 stars Hollander's Deal, November 26, 2000
By A Customer
Five minutes after you've picked up this novel, you'll be hooked. -It entraps you with interesting, multi-dimensional characters, a plot that has you wondering what will come next, conflict that makes for honest drama, and a vitality that illumines every scene. There's no doubt that the author's background as actor and artist infects every page. Mr. Richman has an ear for dialogue, sometimes passionate, sometimes humorous, but always interesting, always keeping the story moving, always in character, always revealing. As an artist, the author has the ability to give verity to his scenes by vivid description that has both detail and coloration, makes time and place come alive. And, of course, he knows the theatrical and motion picture world his characters inhabit. Rich in humor, in action, in steamy sex, in narrative drive, Hollander's Deal guarantees the reader a memorable adventure. My advice: Buy it!
