Well, I can mark my first audiobook off my list! I won this in a challenge and immediately put it into my car cd player to enjoy to and fro work. Although, this wouldn't be a book I would immediately pick out, I was excited to use it as a test to see if I would enjoy the audiobook genre. As far as audiobooks - I enjoy, but I don't know that I could listen to fiction and read another fiction book and keep it all together.

Now as far as this "book." It was interesting. It was definitely not in my normal realm of reading, but I always have an interest in the behind the scenes of Hollywood and celebrity. With Jerry Weintraub being a former manager and producer, it was great to literally hear his stories and interactions with the executives and actors of Hollywood.I would recommend this as an audio for those who like to hear the stories of old and current Hollywood. He told some great stories from Elvis and Sinatra to Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
