[Keri-Ann Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book. It was so much fun comparing what we see on the screen to what was written in the original outline. Only thing i was disappointed about was that even though its advertised the actual script to Thee Little Pigskins and Punch Drunks is not in there. For Punch Drunks i understand as this was the ONLY short the boys wrote themselves so the out line they completed is what we see in this book. However for Three Little Pigskins, Joan Howard Maurer states that she left it out as the script looks nothing like what we got on screen. So why include it? What she added instead was pictures from the short and little details about the scene. Considering it was called a book of scripts, no matter how different i was looking forward to seeing the actual script. Even with that though, the rest of the book and the pictures included still warranted a five star from me.
