Book Reviews of Serling: The Rise and Twilight of Television's Last Angry Man (1st Edition)

Book Review: Avoid this one
Summary: 2 Stars

Not a bad book if you are new to Rod Serling's career. However, it's sad when even Rod Serling's widow speaks publicly on a negative level about this book. For a starting point of interest, there are better books available within an arm's reach. Chances are, if you are looking at this book on Amazon as a possible purchase it is because you are seeking out a book about THE TWILIGHT ZONE or NIGHT GALLERY. If this is so, save your money and avoid this book and buy the two listed below. You'll do yourself justice and thank me in the long run.

ROD SERLING'S NIGHT GALLERY: AN AFTER-HOURS TOUR by Scott Skelton and Jim Benson offers 390 plus pages of behind-the-scenes critical analysis and facts with exclusive interviews with cast and crew.

THE TWILIGHT ZONE: UNLOCKING THE DOOR TO A TELEVISION CLASSIC by Martin Grams is 800 plsu pages and includes "everything" about the classic series. The details about Serling's writing career on radio, early television and Twilight Zone is well researched and highly detailed. Exclusive interviews with cast and crew and behind-the-scenes trivia will floor you.

Both books available on Amazon.com

Summary of Serling: The Rise and Twilight of Television's Last Angry Man (1st Edition)

A biography of the creator of The Twilight Zone draws on interviews with more than two hundred of Serling's family and friends to trace his rise from scriptwriter at a college radio station to TV's ""golden boy."" National ad/promo.
