I only read this book for research on my WIP. It’s also short and straightforward, so it’s relatively a breeze to read.
That said, though this book did offer a lot of insight into the craft of acting, it bothered me that Bolevslasky constantly refers to the aspiring actress he’s mentoring as “creature.” It’s dehumanizing somehow. Like, man, just refer to her as “girl.” It’s not a horrible word to use.
I also wished that this book was in the point of view of an actor instead of a director. Bolevslasky has a lot of things to share about acting, that much is true, but I imagine the perspective of a director is different from the perspective of the actor.
I admit that I’m not the target audience for this book since I’m not an actor, and it’s possible that this is helpful for those aspiring thespians out there.
