I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started this book but I was pleasantly surprised.
It was a fascinating read of a time in South Africa's history, specifically what was happening in Johannesburg and the surrounding areas - oh, and the movie stuff was also interesting!
Well researched.

Fascinating insights, both to the nascent movie industry of SA, and to SA of the early 1900's.

Very interesting. Only for those who have an interest in the history of Johannesburg.
