Easy to read with entertaining anecdotes about legendary movie professionals and their watering holes, I devoured this book in a couple of days.  It really portrays these actors, directors and writers as crazy drunks who do the most destructive yet fascinating things.  I skimmed over the recipes and they are not something that I will refer back to but I can see someone using to add pizzazz to a party.  Overall, this is good book to have sitting around to read a bit at a time and share with guests.  I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
