Product Description

A film company rips off a small redwoods town after offering residents big checks and the sweet possibility of parts in a TV pilot. When the checks bounce, the town is told there's nothing it can do. But then, in the coastal redwoods and in southern California's affluhip Venice and Beverly Hills, the residents go on a dogged hunt for unthinkable and truly wicked revenge.

Del Monte's descriptions of this small town riven by petty jealousies have a stunning intuitive quality. And she has perfect pitch for the resentments and backbiting of the residents as they plan revenge.

Plonk Means the Sweet Wine of Revenge
This book is a fun romp through the various (and devious) ploys used as payback for a slimy Hollywood 'big wheel' named Zoltan Diesel. If you enjoy seeing the little guy get even, and an Ego get deflated, then order this book. It's a great way to spend a couple of free evenings - (I picked it up and there went my weekend.)I couldn't decide who the real people must be that the book was mirroring. Del Monte writes like people talk, not like a stilted grammar book. It reminds me of Edward Abbey at his best ("The Monkey Wrench Gang") and I would recommend it.
