...been in aisle seats on Oscar Night: Jamie Foxx as the musician, Robert Downey, Jr., as the newspaperman. But The Soloist was pulled from a late-year release, to be dumped in the no-man's-land of late April. And though the film nabbed respectful reviews, audiences were quick to realize it was neither Iron Man nor Ray.

...fiction. On appearances and plot summary alone, “Perfect Fifths” seems to fall squarely within the realm of the former, but there is a psychological depth to the light, funny diction that would ordinarily make a novel targeted at young women a “quick read.”Plotwise, the novel relies heavily on the background of the previous four books. A unified referential significance of events and dialogue proves McCafferty’s skill at tying up and explaining questions left throughout the series.
