Pageboy

by Philip Nelson

[Quirky Cat]

Book Summary:

Elliot Page has gone through a lot over the years. Much of it was likely more public than he would have liked, as the media loves to delve into the lives of celebrities. Pageboy is his turn to lend his voice to his story.

Pageboy explores Elliot Page's past, thoughts on love, relationships, Hollywood, and more.

My Review:

Oh wow. Pageboy is everything I could have hoped for, with Elliot Page's strong personality shining through at every turn. This is a brilliantly written biography in every shape and form. This is a must-read for all Page fans.

It's also a must-read if you want more insight into life in Hollywood. We all know that many young actors are mistreated – but knowing it and seeing it are two entirely different things. Elliot's stories here are alarming and harrowing, to say the least.

I love and respect Elliot Page for speaking out. That opinion has held for years and is even strong now after having read Pageboy.
