In The Player, the Hollywood classic that was adapted into the celebrated movie by Robert Altman, film executive Griffin Mill got away with murder. Now Mill is back, down to his last $6 million, and broke. His second wife wants to leave him. His first wife still loves him. His children hate him, and believing that the end of the world is happening, he wants to save them all, with one last desperate plan to save his life: quit the studio and convince an almost billionaire that he has the road map and the mettle to make them both achieve savage wealth. In The Return of the Player, Tolkin again delivers a brilliant, incise portrait of power, wealth, and family in contemporary society gone out of control with greed and excess.
The Return of the Player, Michael Tolkin's follow-up to his dark, cynical Hollywood novel, is all about kids. Not loving them—using them. Player-parenting to get ahead…Tolkin might consult Francis Ford Coppola before tackling "T.P. III." But as sequels go, this one's worth the price of admission.

Return of the Player
Man, what a disappointment. I had some trepidation about the notion of a sequel to The Player. The first 25 or so pages of this book were enjoyable. Then it just sunk down the toilet from there.
At times it was a rushed sloppy mess that I think Tolkin had envisioned more as a sequel before every plotting out the story fully.

One of the worst books I have read in a long, long time. Poor characterization, stupid dialog, dumb story, cheesy ending. Wow, is this bad.
