I'm interested in the topic, but I didn't feel there were any insights in this book. In fact it sort of read like the results of an internet search on each of the writers who worked for London Scripts Inc.

Books like this, about the workaday world of people revolutionizing comedy (semi-unwittingly, while seeking laughs), are books I tend to like. I don't know why anyone else would even care about taking note of these names, least of all in America in 2010. But it pleases me.
