2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Hollywood Business 101By W. FrazierA very detailed. meticulously time-lined narrative of the creation and life of Dreamworks. The author gives great background to the important players. deal makers. and production teams. and their agreements. Fascinating. Hollywood Business 101. The audio narration is very good (just a couple of names mispronounced). However. as there is so much information. its a tough audio book to follow and may be a better hard copy read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful!By misscoconutsGiven the prologue. I expected a completely different book and was happily surprised.The book gives a very real understanding of three extremely successful men who decide to build a production company and I believe do just that. although given the end of the story. they expected different results - quickly.Dreamworks SKG is awe inspiring and so very interesting for anyone wanting an understanding of Hollywood or what makes overachievers tick.It doesnt delve too much into their earlier business lives and as such. made me search the kindle store for further information. although I found it sadly lacking. The one book I did find and would recommend with this book is "The Keys to the Kingdom" by Kim Masters.A real page turner. dont start without few hours free!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Pretty good book ...albeit looking backBy JB VickIts a pretty solid account of how the company was formed and their ups and downs. The business has certainly changed since this came out but its useful background for making sense of whats happening today in the entertainment business.Speilberg is treated as royalty and Geffen is some mystery guy who pulls magic strings but it doesnt go into that....and it makes Katzenberg look like a hard working guy but even though things dont always go his way...he still makes hundreds of millions....Hollywood...land of opportunity..got to love it...
