Listened to this in audio book form because John Landis did the reading. It was fun. Full of good anecdotes. That does mean there's less analysis and a lot of stories from people where they got one over Harry Cohn. Aw shucks, anecdote teller, you're so clever.
I was constantly thinking "What was really going on?"
I know Cohn was smart and ruthless. I sensed a less pleasant, more controlling person behind the person depicted here.
But the book is an easy read. Lots of great stories. The account of his death is moving, as is his friendship with Sidney Buchman.
