One of my all-time favorite songs is "How Could Anyone Ever Tell You You Were Anything Less than Beautiful" (by Shaina Noll). When I think about John Frederick's book, StarCatcher, I think, How could anyone ever think this book is anything less than wonderful?

And the reviewers all agree with me. He has twenty five-star reviews on Amazon and four on Barnes and Noble. Every review is five stars!! And so rightly so. This book is one we at Robert D. Reed Publishers are very proud to have in our catalog.

Here is a condensed (somewhat anyway) list of some of his reviews:

5.0 out of 5 stars Intimate, first person accounts of celebrities we’ve loved, and thought we knew, for decades It is very well written and I especially loved its organization. I can open it up anywhere, read the serendipitously discovered essays with curiosity (“I wonder what will be in this one!”), and be richly rewarded. And I’m always tickled by the colorful facts like Ernest Borgnine’s first wife tearing up a photo of him after an argument and peeing on it (😂), and his long and patriotic support of the US Navy that he served with during WWII. Seriously, we could never find those little treasures anywhere else. Humanizing our heroes favorably is so valuable, and so important right now... ~ Richard Anderson

5.0 out of 5 stars An Intimate Journey Back to Hollywood's Golden Age What makes StarCatcher relaxingly entertaining is the author’s humorous and laid back writing style. You’ll wind up feeling like you have made a new friend in John Frederick, sitting alongside of him as the lights go down, the screen goes up, and the memories come alive. Frederick was there when they said it, and you’ll be right next to him, page after entertaining page of StarCatcher – A True Life Hollywood Fantasy. ~ Neil Scott
