Take One, Above The Line Series #1
By Karen Kingsbury / Zondervan In the high-powered world of filmmaking, two unknown producers struggle to make a name for themselves. They have done the impossible – raised enough money to independently produce a feature film with a message they hope will change the world. With millions of investors’ dollars on the line, everything starts to fall apart and they realize they may be in over their heads, a couple of Davids in a world of Hollywood Goliaths. Is it possible to keep things above the line, to beat the odds and make a movie unlike anything ever done before? Or, will they lose everything in the process? |
*************
This book is the latest by Karen Kingsbury and is the first in her new Above the Line series. Take One was a very enjoyable read for me. The characters are genuine and it is easy to relate to them. The storylines are very good with though provoking issues interwoven throughout each one. My only “problem” with this book is that it left me feeling very unfinished. Which, obviously, is a good thing since this is just the beginning of the series and more books are to come. I’m already looking forward to the next installment, Take Two, which is due out in early June 2009.
