I feel like I won this book as a prize for something but I don’t remember what. I remember picking it out and doing so because of the movie based on the book. I thought it would be interesting. It was an interesting topic but I found it to be somewhat disorganized and meandering and therefore difficult to get into. It was a very dense, slow read due to all of the names of people who I don’t know. I felt it could have been quite a bit shorter. It was fun when, towards the end, they mentioned people and movies I knew. I do want to see the movie, though. Putting it on my list.
