Instead she talked about the great divide between solving problems and causing them and the importance of being on time.

When I first heard about the concept of this book, I was intrigued!

I like going into books knowing as little as possible and so it didn’t start out how I was expecting and I thought I was in for disappointment, but then everything started to come together, and by the end all of the setup made sense.

I loved getting into the behind-the-scenes nitty-gritty parts to making a movie and the variety of characters and their back stories that were explored.

Some parts felt a little too slow, convenient, overdone, etc., but I guess that’s what happens with some movies. 😆

I also really appreciated the variety of story-telling techniques and forms, and the bonus material! That was fun!

If you like character-driven stories and movies, and are curious as to what goes into making Hollywood motion pictures, or just like behind-the-scenes-style stories in general, you should definitely give this book a go!
