I love behind-the-scenes books about entertainment and this book was certainly no disappointment. When Josh Gad discusses entertainment, he is a great storyteller; always captivating. And the book was funny; I started laughing at the first page. The foreword by Sacha Baron Cohen, of whom I am not a fan, was excellent. At one point I thought that Gad was being too boastful when discussing his participation in forensics (as in formal debate, not as in crime) but I watched a video of one of his performances and it was even better than described in the book, so I have to say Gad was being accurate. The main weakness of the book was when Gad was in my opinion, overly schmaltzy or offered too much advice. Otherwise, this is a great book. Thank you to Netgalley and Gallery Books for the advance reader copy.
