I was actually blown away by how good this book was. A hilarious, first hand collection of stories, a well moving plot with duel story lines (the filming of The Room and Greg's beginning relationship with tommy), engaging writing with perfectly delivered quips make Sestero and Bissell an excellent team. And what is the plot twist--the final reveal? Where the hell this guy came from.

This book could have been the biggest piece of garbage. The greatest success of this nonfiction account is Sestero's sympathy towards Tommy, Greg's ability to show many sides of Tommy that reel you in to this multidimensional person. Instead of being annoyed or hating the protagonist (who is undoubtedly Tommy) of this book, you feel Greg's authentic desire to unlock his mysteries. Also a great success? Stories upon stories of how The Room stumbled at every pitiful moment of its creation.

In order to appreciate this book, readers really must see the movie.
