Excellant Novel,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quentin Tarantino: Shooting from the Hip (Hardcover)
Excellant biography. Its objective, funny, interesting, and well researched. A must read not only for fans of the hot shot director, but for anyone interested in the process that goes into making movies. My only quarrel is that it ends before the making of From Dusk Till Dawn or jackie Brown.
