A Memoir

Life Itself

Patrick Book

Startlingly poignant at times (especially when you let yourself forget how good a writer he really is and lapse into thinking he's just a movie guy), beautifully and engagingly written. His illness was horrible, but it helped form the last act of his life into something truly remarkable. This book is a wonderful end to a storied career.

++ interesting memoir about journalism and getting to know some old Hollywood movie stars
-- a bit long winding and awkward at moments
