If you consider going to film school, this book can save you a lot of head-aches. It helped me a lot in narrowing down my cirle, and it damn sure gave me new perspectives on how to look, and what to look for, and how to approach my search for the right place. The best thing is that it doesn't only give you sheer facts and dry data -- it will also include personal info that schools will never tell you, because A) they don't want you to know; B) it is not related to education, therefore they don't think it is important (I know now, as a senior in college, how important every detail can be -- trust me, that's all there is to it: details).

Definitely a good book. A very entertaining read, and just as much inspirational as a helping hand, giving us a look inside the crazy and surprising world of Sports. Unfortunately when it comes down to the top of his wrestling-career the style of the book transforms into the style of the Rock, which is very entertaining too (and funny), but I miss the personal insight that I get a lot of at the beginning about "The most electrifying man of sports entertainment", when he was only called Dwayne... The book gives a couple of insights into the biz as well. All in all a good book, written in Hollywood-style. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because I read Mick Foley... and that's… Read more
