4.0 out of 5 stars Well written and very interesting, 15 Feb 2007
If you like films, and particularly if you've enjoyed The Sixth Sense or Unbreakable or any of M Night Shyamalan's other films, I think you'll like this.

The author had enviably close access the film-maker when he made his recent, by all accounts rather strange film "The Lady in the Water". And although he obviously likes M Night very much, he remains more than capable of seeing the problems and pitfalls that the director's occasionally rather wacky approach can bring. (Indeed, he doesn't even like the final film particularly.) He does a particularly excellent job of getting inside M Night's head and conveying the odd mix of breathtaking arrogance and rather endearing insecurity which I'm sure is a common combination in many fine directors.

Recommended, and well worth getting.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring, 24 Jul 2009
By Marcus Popp Mattsson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this boko after I read an excerpt from it, in which Paul Giamatti and Night have a pretty heated argument. I thought this would be at least some what representative of the book's content, but it's not, there's really no big confrontations or problems so far, I'm 200 pages in, except for Night's own personal issues and doubts.

What the book is, is a slow, boring, too-detailed narration of the movie's creation. It goes out on wild, uninteresting tangents, focusing on Paul Giamatti's grandparent or the tenants living around the movie's main set. It could've been interesting, but it's not.
