Customer Reviews

HOLLYWOOD WORKPLACE REVEALED FINALLY

I found the information to be very helpful in understanding the worlds of working in the entertainment industry. Having insider information on the Hollywood industry should provide guidance for people deciding if this is the work career place they want. I got the book out of curiosity about the industry that provides the public with amusement products. The information is well arranged and easy to understand. The publication does not hold back from warnings about making mistaken moves while working in Hollywood. It comes across as a very useful workplace guide.

Great gift

Manages to strike the balance of fun and informative that makes it a great gift for a college grad pondering a career in the entertainment biz.

Hollywood Assistants Handbook

Well written and a must for anyone who wants to know what really goes on in the film industry.

Must-read for anyone in Hollywood

I just got this book a few days ago and have already flown through it. If you are trying to get ahead in Hollywood, everything you need to know is right here, packaged in easy-to-read humor.

Smart, Funny - A must have for any US Magazine addict!

A very smart, funny read. Entertaining and informative. Loved it! Definitely going on my Mother's Day shopping list for mom, mother-in-law, and all the other Hollywood gossip-hounds that I know. The authors do a great job of offering real insights while still being humorous and not taking themselves too seriously. Perfect choice for the smart woman -- toss it in your beach bag with your Fuji water, Economist, OK Magazine, and Blackberry!
