The Twins of Tribeca ReviewTwins of Tribeca centers on Karen Jacobs, a bored fact-checker at CNN longing for a more interesting career. She gets it when she gets a job in the publicity department at Glorious, a motion picture company. The author, Rachel Pine, is a former publicist from Miramax, so it is extremely obvious who the inspiration for the Waxman borthers are. But the book is light a fun, and it's nice to see a chick-lit workplace book that doesn't take place in publishing! The movie business is something that is familiar to most anyone.
Karen has no idea just how nuts her co-workers are when she starts, including a boss who has imaginary telephone calls with Oprah, a co-worker who is obsessed with a young Glorious starlet (clerarly modeled after Gwyneth Paltrow) and the other co-workers, who fight tooth and nail to impress the Waxmans and will do anything to look important and superior to their co-workers. Funny tidbits about the craziness of movie stars and celebrities are also included, including their crazy demands and diva behavior.
Very little of the book centers on Karen's personal life, it is mostly about her job. This isn't really a bad thing. And one refreshing thing about the book is that throughout, although it is apparent that everyone around her is bonkers, Karen never seems to complain endlessly about the job much either. It's an interesting inside look at a production company from an author who knows.
The writing is also pretty good, a lot better than other authors in the genre. It's fun to guess who all of the characters and movies are supposed to be- look at a list of the movies Miramax released in 1996 and you'll see VERY similar ones here- The English Patient, Sling Blade, The Crow 2, The Pallbearer, Everyone Says I Love You, etc.
Overall, this is a fun and enjoyable read, and the fact it doesn't have a very clear plot doesn't hurt the book too much, because it is too much fun for the reader to really care! Definately recommended. Also note, the audiobook is read by Ana Gasteyer from SNL and she does a great job!The Twins of Tribeca Overview
