Surprising

If you stay after a movie to watch closing credits, you will love this book. It isn't a how-to book. These stories are the personal reflections of people who have succeeded in this crazy business. Many life lessons for anyone trying to break into a specialized artistic field - or any field, really. Also, this reader didn't put me to sleep like some non-fiction narrators do.
