I didn't finish this book. I was just so furious with it. The writing isn't just bad and annoying, it's absolutely appalling. I'ts like an old guy using his grandchildren's slang, a wine snob describing a vintage, a rap artist that's-what-I'm fuckin'-sayin' at the end of every phrase, know what I mean, like. Just shut up, stop trying to sound cool and tell the story.

I have no idea if the book is any good or not and I really couldn't care less. If a book can't hook me in fifty pages it's failed in its contract with the reader and I want my money back!

A fun diversion that sheds some cynical light on Hollywood, revealing just how much it's all about business more than art. Two of my favourite movies are mentioned in here (Fight Club and Heat.) It is disturbing to read how many people lost their jobs as a result of Fight Club.

I didn't care so much for the cafe conversations with Jerry that frame the memoir but overall I enjoyed this enough that I might chase down Linson's other book, A Pound of Flesh.

Short, sour and entertaining anecdotes from the ego-laden and reliably ridiculous world of Hollywood.
