Chasing the Panther: Adventures and Misadventures of a Cinematic Life by Carolyn Pfeiffer

reflective relaxing medium-paced

3.75

I really liked this memoir, which I listened to on audio! I didn't recognise the name Carolyn Pfeiffer at all — I just saw this book in the Libro.fm Advanced Lending Copy library and thought it sounded up my street. Goes to show how far I've come from a few years back where I thought to enjoy a memoir I had to be very familiar with the author's work.

Well, it was fun to hear all of the famous names Carolyn has come across/worked with during her career. I had no clue the story would be so star-studded. It was also super interesting learning about the development of the film industry in the 60s.

Not sure if this was my fault or the fault of the book, but I started to get distracted at points, couldn't remember who was who in some cases, and ultimately didn't fully connect emotionally with the story. 

But it was all still very interesting. I wasn't really ever bored at all!
