To be honest; it doesnt really give any new insight into Rodriguezs films; but its a great collection of never read before interviews and some familiar interviews that I like having in this one collection. The Kindle format is a great read and the price is good. $65 for a hardcover is way to much for this book. Worth it in the other formats.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
