AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
Kyriazi relays stories about directors and actors. The stories are about events that have occurred on and off the screen – and even events that have determined what goes on screen.
I was surprised how well the stories seemed to flow into each other sometimes despite the varied subjects and sources. Unfortunately, I think I’m too young for this book – I only recognized a handful of names, and there were few stories that I found interesting without knowing who was being discussed. With such short stories, context is important, and Kyriazi assumes that his readers are familiar with the movie stars he talks about.
Kyriazi talks about and includes pictures of subjects from various backgrounds, though the people seemed to be predominantly white, which is probably reflective of those being hired through the earlier days of movies. The mature content rating is for mention of mention of drug and alcohol abuse, innuendo, nudity, mention of condoms and sex, and sexual assault. The violence rating is for mention of verbal abuse, domestic violence, gun use, suicide, and murder.
