4.0 out of 5 stars Goldman again proves he's no dummy, May 26 2004
By Scott Watch (Vancouver, CA) - See all my reviews
An easy-to-read novel by William Goldman, with very strong moments and thrilling climax.
Charles Withers, a 10yr old boy has a football star of an older brother, a jock father and an estranged alcoholic mother, but little self-esteem. He's quiet at school and spends his free time posing in his mirror, craftmaking and lately a newly found talent..magic.
Spending his teenage years perfecting card tricks and rabbit-pulls he meets mentor Merlin Jr, an author of magic pamphlets and together they tour the east coast of America. But Charles, better known as Corky, is a meek apprentice and shows little confidence as a soloist.
Corky discovers the secret to his lack of confidence lies in his new act..ventriliquism and hits it big with 'Fats' a hilarious X-rated dummy. With 'Fats' on his lap as well as a TV contract the pressure of success grows into a destructive cycle of murder and suspense.
Highly readable, Goldman places the reader on a chilling voyage into the mind of a disturbed comic. All in all an excellent novel, and frankly I expect nothing else from Goldman.
