Hilarious but touching, too.

I join the other 5-star commenters in congratulating the author for a job well done. I had a great time chuckling my way through it. Very funny, very well-written, and in the end, very moving in its way.
A great and funny book!

I picked this book the other day as it sounded very interesting. Boy was I right! Not only was the book interesting, it was hilarious!!! The story is great, you learn a lot of interesting things about movies, and it even has a happy ending. There were tons of times I actually laughed out loud and it was hard to read this book without cracking a smile. A must read!
A Great Read

This was such a good book. It was funny and I learned a lot about moviemaking. I now know what a best boy and a dolly grip do.I am afraid this is one of those books that won't get much publicity and therefore not many people will read it. It that happens it will be a shame because a lot of people will really enjoy this book.
Great Read!

Flew through this in less than a day. Well written and quite witty - a perfect vacation read that will have you laughing (LOL). Plus an informative look behind the camera into those not-well known jobs listed at the end of every movie. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.
Outstanding!

What a terrific read! Finished it two days. This is a very enjoyable book, with characters that are unique but also very relatable. I laughed out loud throughout. I highly recommend it! This is one book I think virtually anyone would enjoy.
