    <![CDATA[This book traces the extraordinary life and career of Mel Brooks, who has ridden a wave of show business success perhaps unsurpassed by anyone of his generation. Offering many insights into the wacky world of Brooks and his many collaborators, as well as an intimate look into his successful marriage to the brilliant and beautiful actress Anne Bancroft, <em>It's Good to Be the King</em> might just be the most delightful, engaging, and entertaining biography you'll ever read.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I am reading this as it's the only book about Mel Brooks that includes his entire movie career. I'm not completely satisfied with this author's writing style, but until Brooks writes an autobiography, this is the best one can do.<br/>]]></body>
