I did not enjoy this book. The pacing was all over the place. The most interesting things happened off-stage and were just explained by others. Some of the most boring things took multiple chapters. I understand it was written in a documentary style and perhaps that's why I didn't like it. I don't enjoy film mockumentaries either. 

Love the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical though. Really really wanted to like the book as well.
