What fun this book was -- a real trip down memory lane for someone who was a teenager when this movie came out! I didn't realize that the movie continues to enjoy a following among subsequent generations and I was interested in reading so many tidbits about the making of the movie of which I was unaware. This was a perfect start to my summer reading, and I will be recommending it to those who remember the movie from the 70s and those who have since discovered it, as well as those who simply enjoy reading about the movie business.

I absolutely loved this book! I remember when I was 14, I was trying to figure out how I could go see the movie. My parents would not take me so I tried to look older when I went to the box office, but alas, that did not work. So I finally saw Saturday Night Fever as an adult but before that, when I was still in High School, I bought the album. I absolutely loved Disco and still to this day, love the music from this film. Margo Donohue does a thorough job of researching the making of the film and all the trials and tribulations. I learned more about Robert Stigwood which was interesting, and at the time, nobody wanted John Travolta because they did not think he was "sexy" enough. Of course, many of us had crushes on him (I even had his poster as Vinnie Barbarino on my wall). I also learned that Denny Terio (from Dance Fever fame) stole credit from Lester Wilson and I am glad that the truth is finally out there. At the end of the book, we get updates on what key people are doing now. A must read for movie buffs and lovers of Disco.

Maybe I expected something different from this book. It was an ok read. It actually dragged in some area for me. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my review of this book. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my thoughts which went inot this review.
