3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. I loved this bookBy jeffrey brownI loved this book. I tore through it in 3 days. Christopher Noxon paints such a clear and honest picture of what it must be like to married into Hollywood royalty. His take on how to fit into this life style is just hilarious. I can't imagine I wouldn't feel the same way. How do you justify the parties, the vacations, the house?? His take on all of this and how gender roles in society complicate things even more make for such a fun read. Next time you get on a plane get this book. You will laugh. You will think.....it's pretty great.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Reversal of Man/Woman Roles Handled HereBy Bret ScottA good attempt from a man's point of view to deal with the role reversal that's been occurring in society for the past two decades and more, where women are earning more than men -- so the men mind the home, hearth and children. It definitely takes a strong man to feel okay about this role, and I liked the progression this character went through.I often like to read books from a man's point of view -- favorite authors are Richard Russo and Richard Ford -- but this is the first book I've read on this subject. This man certainly went through some interesting personal growth ... albeit slipping backwards at times, too.I didn't love everything about the book, but all in all found it worth my time to read and would recommend to others.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Perfect reading for the beach this summer or light reading ...By Jennifer L. YekoA delightful and honest read with insight into being the +1 of someone's rise to success in the TV industry in Hollywood. Perfect reading for the beach this summer or light reading before bed each night. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

"Behind every great man there's a great woman . . . and in Noxon's telling, behind every great woman there's a charming, deeply conflicted guy (sometimes holding a very expensive handbag).

''Well observed, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny, Plus One tells a story from the inside of show business about being on the outside.'' --Matthew Weiner, creator of Mad Men ''Hilarious and whip-smart, with a big beating heart at its center. I love this book, and so will you.'' --Dana Reinhardt, author of We Are the Goldens and Odessa Again ''In the LA entertainment world, Alex shy;Sherman-Zicklin is a plus one. The Emmy ceremony invitation is addressed to his wife, Figgy, creator and writer of the cable show Tricks, about a housewife running a prostitution ring out of a scrapbooking shop, and the invitation notes, 'plus one' . . . .
