I grew up on these guys and wanting to know what they thought of a movie. If you’re a movie buff like me and enjoyed their reviews, then you will love this book. The original influencers in my opinion. Now that I’ve read more about them I feel like they inspired so many of us to voice our opinions on things and people will listen. This duo is the pure epitome of giving reviews on entertainment.

I received this ebook through a Goodreads giveaway. My review is my own honest opinion.

 I grew up watching Siskel & Ebert. At first I think I was drawn in by their arguing, but eventually I was listening to what they had to say about films. I saw a lot of films that a kid would not typically see because these two men encouraged me to do so. They made film reviews an art form as well as entertainment. I miss those thumbs.

As a huge fan of Siskel and Ebert this was everything I wanted and more. It made me want to re read Life Itself which I might do soon.
