Silver Screen Fiend: Learning About Life from an Addiction to Film - Patton Oswalt C

Patton Oswalt is witty, smart and likable. He's the proverbial, "guy you would like to have a beer with." That's sort of way I expected so much more from this book. Being a cinephile myself, I was expecting a more in-depth, more insightful exploration into film- i.e. the really geeky stuff. But instead, we get a nice jaunt down memory lane that is enjoyable yet somewhat forgettable.

Check out this NPR piece by Linda Holmes from last January
