Reviews

[Lynda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Based on the screenplay. I have always like these books because it adds a different perspective to movies I liked. They usually go into more detail about the characters thoughts and reactions because they don't have the visual to clarify.

This one is a lot of fun.
