This book is about Bruce Campbell's struggle to become an actor. It was really interesting because he intermittently reads fan mail, some of which is really funny like the person who recommended he stop doing so many B movies and start doing more block busters--like it was his PLAN to do B movies. lol He gave minimal dirt on people, which was disappointing. lol He said that he worked with actors who could only seem to get their lines right during their closeups to ensure they got a lot of closeups. I wanted him to name names, but I understand why he couldn't. He talked about his cult popularity and what it was like to work on certain movies.

People who enjoy humor in their autobiographies or who enjoy books that give more insight into Hollywood.

I especially liked when he read fan mail. It was interesting to see the stupid, funny, fawning, and rude things people write.

I didn't like that he didn't name more names about who was doing what, but I understand.

I was really interested and amused by this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was excited to see he's written a sequel, as well as several others. I'll check out the others to see if they are anything I'd be interested in, but I know I want to read the sequel!

The author of this book gave interesting insights into what it's like working on some movie sets and with some actors and actresses.

I recommend this book because it was light, fun, and interesting. I really enjoyed it!
