I wanted to love it but I only liked it very much. Most of it I had already learned through various interviews and one-man-shows. If you're new to Mel Brooks' personal and professional story, then this is an excellent book to learn all you need to know about Mel Brooks' formative years both in youth and profession. Well written and at times funny, but always entertaining, it just seemed to be a little bit perfunctory.
