Book ebbs and flows. Some pages I find fascinating, which leads to reading several chapters in one sitting. Others, however, seem to drag on, which leads me to taking days if not weeks to get through ten pages. I do find the old movie references interesting, but this book is a three stars at best almost two-thirds in.

Not a big fan of his memoir/professional history approach. Just not my cup of tea. Book is an interesting read, but the writing is a bit slow.

First two-thirds of prologue a bit of a slog. Then at the end the author picks up his writing and finds himself.
