Great insight to Scorsese's youth and influences on his later work.

A short biography of Scorsese's life and carrier till mid-90s (from "Who's that knocking on my door?" till "Casino"). Most times it felt like I was reading Wikipedia entries and at others it felt like it hasn't said anything new about the Italo-American director which I didn't already know.

Possibly underwhelming read due to it being outdated. Either way, pretty basic stuff. Offers nothing new.

Nice book and I liked discovering what his childhood was like. He’s my favourite director so nice to understand some background information about him
