succinctly summarises the BBC's general feeling about Maybe the Moon"

"Overall the book is character rather than plot based. Don’t expect action. It’s very bitter-sweet, but also has a good portion of humour. It gives a great portrait of Hollywood pretensions and hypocrisy. The central characters are flawed yet sympathetic. It’s slower than The Tales, but ultimately I think more moving. An excellent book with a lot to savour and learn from. I’ve found it’s one that stays in your memory."
