The Last Days of Video--#33 finished

The reason finally doing all the catch up on my reading log.  I finished this & went ahead and posted it to PBS and will be mailing it out tomorrow.

This book had some good parts and some that were just too much out there and didn't really make sense.  I liked the idea of an independent video rental store dying off, Blockbuster opened down the street but also with video dying before that.  Interesting characters, maybe too gruff and drunk at points but oh well.  I don't get the whole hollywood director coming back & filming in small town North Carolina that is also a good friend of lady that basically runs the video store.  Try to use him and actors as last ditch attempt to save store but falls apart.  Just a little too out there, wonder if alternate reality story line exists that would have been better.  Oh well still a decent read.  Maybe next PBS reader will like too.
