 Boozing, losing in the shadow of Hollywood-icon parents
With Bertie, Wagner has nailed the voice of the newbie writer -- thesaurus in hand, always looking to salt his sentences with interesting and unusual words when simpler choices might be better -- but perhaps a little too well: The first 12 pages or so feel so labored that it's difficult to find a foothold.
Black Jack Michelet is truly a monster of a father; his grief over the death of Thad's twin becomes an excuse for seducing Thad's girlfriend, publicly trashing Thad's literary efforts, and crafting a vitriolic will that eventually propels our musketeers to their inevitable end.
For another, Wagner handles the difficulties of recovering from substance abuse with both realism and gentleness: Bertie's concern and nonpreachy attempts to help Clea when she falls off the AA wagon ring with that certain muted loveliness of truth -- and Wagner manages to accomplish this without either glamorizing or judging.

Although working on NBC's nighttime soap "Titans" drove Jack Wagner's handicap from a plus-0.2 to a 3.5, he's still acknowledged as Hollywood's best.
