I pretty much read this whole book like this O_O Like, WHOA.

This is one of the most fascinating and bonkers stories I've ever read. I LOVED it. I would only recommend it to those who have already seen and enjoyed The Room. If you have not seen The Room, I would recommend that you go watch The Room. Watch The Room five times. Then read this.

I actually already knew a lot about the making of The Room but this book has sooo much crazy behind the scenes information. It truly answers the question "How did this get made?" (Answer: "Barely, and because of Tommy Wiseau's possibly illegally obtained fortune.) What an intensely beautiful trainwreck. I also admire Sestero for writing about Tommy Wiseau with a real sense of compassion and humanity, while still conveying how difficult it is to work with him. (And LIVE with him, oh my god.)

I was also pretty compelled by Greg Sestero's story of trying to make it as a young model/actor in LA, although his story is less compelling than Tommy's... because Tommy is a whirlwind of mystery.
