Book Reviews of Rebel without a Crew: Or How a 23-Year-Old Filmmaker With $7,000 Became a Hollywood Player

Book Review: Inspirational!
Summary: 5 Stars

I had never seen a film by Robert Rodriguez before reading this book, but what an amazing story! It could inspire anyone to want to make a movie even if you've never contemplated such an idea before. As a start-out film maker, it's been far more inspiring than any technical book I've read on the subject of film making. If you are a film maker, and you have somewhat succeeded in what RR calls "becoming technical", then this book oozes just enough technical stuff to keep it informative without detracting from what the book really is - a recount of his experience making El Mariachi. Whatever you take from the book, it's going teach you something.

Rebel Without A Crew is also a hilarious read. Rodriguez writes very freely and this is one of those books responsible for the well-known cliche "once you start you can't put it down" or something along those lines.
