What a Wild Ride!

I really enjoyed this book immensely. Wonderful look at the inner goings on of the Ballet wherever you are but there is a crossover to most artistic venues be it the Symphony or the Art Institute, many similar, teeth-gritting personal scenarios. Pazcoguin writes with intensity, shrewd humor, language often attributed to other professions which is properly used in context. It's a good book. Had I stayed in Ballet, likely I would have had similar circumstances.
