Holly Curtis

Holly's first book is a comedy called Celluloid and has been hailed as 'possibly the best book ever written about a film lover who tries to prevent his local, independent cinema from being closed and turned into flats by a psychotic gangster property developer.' Holly's favourite story is A Christmas Carol and loves movies from the30s-50s. Holly was born and raised in the UK and will probably perish there. "Jimmy and his friends remind me of The Big Bang Theory's characters, only working class, slightly less nerdy, and without supersized IQ's ... Movie lovers and really anyone who likes books with offbeat characters would find this an enjoyable read. It's a love letter to movies and old independent theatres. When the undercurrent of a funny book contains thoughtful commentary, it's an unexpected bonus. The book is worth reading for the witty conversations alone, but don't forget to read between the lines." OnlineBookClub.org "This is a film freak’s novel through and through, and the veneration of film shines on every page ... a heartwarming and inspiring read." Self-Publishing Review "Holly Curtis creates a successful story, not only with the plot line, but in writing style as well. The characters of Celluloid all are able to stand alone, each with his or her own distinct voice and characteristics." Red City Review "This is a book with a simple concept, but a lot of heart. And chuckles." The Bookshelf Gargoyle
