Pageboy book review Elliot Page
Pageboy is a fascinating read, with honest and brutal insights into Elliots individual journey. This book contains some dark chapters, peppered with occasional tongue in cheek humour as we’re taken to and fro over a selection of memories, events, emotion and awakenings. The irony of living one’s life freely within the confines of societal norms should serve as a wakeup call to us all.
This book exposes the carnage created through disfunction and deceit as a result of severe repression. No one should have to endure this kind of internal torment let alone the ongoing betrayal and repercussion from others be it family, friends and acquaintances. It would have taken incredible inner strength to survive in the public eye, given the foreign circumstances of a life within Hollywood. I hope those who read this book can gain a clearer understanding of how we as a society need to make some very necessary changes in our views, understanding, acceptance and actions.
