A very interesting book! Though not what I thought it was. I was thinking it was a novelization of the movie. It is not and that is the main reason for the 3 stars. I HIGHLY recommend the movie it is brilliant and well worth the watch!
This book is based on the making of the movie (which is based on real events) It gives a detailed account of the making of the movie. Discusses the actors, crew, director & composer. It can be dry and repetitive. But still interesting.
