Book Reviews of No Minor Chords: My Days in Hollywood
Book Review: Hilarious!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one hilarious book I have ever read in my life! Previn brings all those big name Hollywood directors, producers, actors/actresses and musicians to life with funny little sweet anecdotes. Some of them are funny beyond imagination. I am not the kind of person who laughs aloud when reading or watching TV, but this one, I couldn't help cracking up.
I don't want to spoil it by telling the contents with my stale language skills. You just got to read it yourself!
At the same time you will learn about inside Hollywood in its glorious days. It's amazing how hard those guys worked, and how genius they were!
Very colorful, fun to read, and for all ages.
