I feel like I would have really enjoyed this book more if I was more of a cinephile. While I've heard of many of the movies mentioned in this book, I haven't seen a lot of them, which means that I didn't get a lot of the jokes made about the film.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I always enjoy learning about Hollywood and the history of movies. It was interesting to learn about flops that I never really heard of and some that I had heard of. It kept me invested and wanting to read more, it was researched perfectly and enjoyed how good this was. Tim Robey has a great writing style and I hope to read more from him.

loved reading about the movies and what made the such poison. while yes there were the obvious one's that were bad , others were fine to me. I really like speed racer and it was great learning about all the issues to get movies made and how much they made overall.
