In "Blurring the Lines" by Jerry Zehr, we first meet Thomas as he is setting up a meeting with an Los Angeles detective. He is obviously frightened and concerned about his predicament, making the reader wonder how he ended up in this situation and how he is going to get out of it. Thomas is an aspiring actor who moved to L.A. from a small town in the mid-west in his quest to become a star. While he has had plenty of summer stock and college acting experience, he still hasn’t got the experience and connections he needs -- something he becomes painfully aware of. Thomas is likable and a bit naive, the small-town boy who is the automatic target of big-city predators. Luckily for him, Mr. C, the manager at his desk-clerk job, has also become his mentor and friend.
I really enjoyed reading "Blurring the Lines". I got caught up in Thomas’s efforts to become an actor and empathized with him when he struggles through a stand-up gig. Thomas is an appealing character, someone I'd like to know in real life, as is Mr. C, his boss. Mr. C brings another element to this book that makes it even more enjoyable: he introduces Thomas to a theology that embraces all faiths. This inclusive belief system is quite intriguing and adds dimension to the tale. If I had one complaint reading this book, it would be that when it was finished, I was left wondering what would happen to Thomas in the future. There was so much more to learn about Thomas, Mr. C and the other characters in "Blurring the Lines". I am looking forward to reading more of Jerry Zehr’s work.
