Book Reviews of Inside Inside
Book Review: An absolute treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
I adored this book. Lipton is thoughtful, funny, charming, gracious, generous, kind -- and brilliant. He has led a fascinating life -- and that's no surprise, given his talents and tenacity. Contrary to finding him "vain," as some reviewers have written, I find him to be profoundly humble. I love the television show, and I thank him for bringing it, and this book, to us.Book Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I expected to read mostly behind the scenes happenings of Inside the Actors Studio. Instead, the first 3/4 of the book is full of International quotes that I don't care about. I wanted to hear about Actors, not Lipton, except with an explanation perhaps, of how the show got started. If you want to read about the actors, skip to the last section. As someone else says, Lipton should have kept his pompous self out of the book. I wasn't planning to read an autobiography.Book Review: Fine Book Demoted for Lack of Index
Summary: 3 Stars
This is one of the name-droppingest books you will ever read. Lipton by virtue of his distinguished career and the stellar roster of guests on "Inside the Actors Studio" has earned the right to drop those names. Books like this deserve, nay, require an index. But the publisher cheaped out. Saving paper? Editorial cost? Computer time? Who knows? But it's a near fatal omission.
There's a great Bob Hope anecdote in there somewhere. Damned if I can find it again.
Book Review: Gossip with the Professional
Summary: 5 Stars
James Lipton has had the inside track in theater for decades. What fun to hear his many tales from the inside!Book Review: Great book, Great Man
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading this book gives you an insight to the world famous TV show, the man that is James Lipton, and the world of theater as a whole. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
