Summary: Fantastic book
Comment: Robert Cort has written a one-of-a-kind book of behind the scenes Hollywood action. Sure, it's fiction but no one could make up stuff this interesting. A must read for anyone who is interested in how the movie business REALLY works.
Rating: 5
Summary: Kind of a surprise
Comment: I happened to be in a bookstore where Robert Cort was reading and decided "what the hell" and listened to him read. He was so funny I figured I'd buy the book, even though I'm not a big movie person. The cool thing about the book is that it's not really for film geeks, per se, or at least I don't think so. It's got a lot of stuff that would appeal to them but a lot more than that, too. A great sense of history and a great sense of entrepreneurial enterprise. That's what I liked about the book - I liked the way that AJ builds his companies. Some of the stuff in the first section didn't really do it for me, but keep reading, it gets really good and the ending is very cool. (better ending then a few other books I've read this summer.)
Rating: 2
Summary: Name dropping to the nth...
Comment: This book reads like the script for a James Michener miniseries or an epic blockbuster (it reminded me in parts of the film Giant). My biggest complaint is the incessant namedropping that at times is so gratuitious that I self-consciously found myself looking at the floor to make sure my feet hadn't stepped in any of it. I expect we will see this book on TV (HBO perhaps?) or maybe even on the big screen someday, since Cort is a major producer in Hollywood. Hopefully the real screenplay will do to this novel what central character AJ is supposed to be talented at doing: tightening a potentially good but ultimately sprawling story into a focused unit. It surely needs it. My advice? Wait for the screen version.
