Customer Reviews

totally enjoyable and addictive

This book is a lot of fun and really enjoyable reading. The Barbra thing is a hoot! This apparently is the first of an annual series - I can't wait till next year!

first-rate

There are some wonderful essays in here. Two of the best include one about producing by a producer who worked for Robert Redford. Very interesting look at the producing life, which I've rarely seen written about. And another utterly fascinating essay by a homosexual who explains why homosexuals idolize tough, bitchy, ballsy female stars like Madonna and Streisand and Judy Garland. I've always wondered why homosexuals would idolize these type women (why women, they love men?) and this essay is an articluate glimpse into the homosexual mind.
