Yes, it's academic, but Wood is a truly engaging writer and at times can be sharp as hell. That is, I'd be laughing at a sneaky one-liner and then scurrying to copy down an insightful paragraph. It's a traipse through themes in Hollywood movies from roughly 1938 to 1963 from a outsider's (British perspective). Fascinating spins on what was going on in movies and how that reflected on the American people and the US as a country.
