We Don't Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy by Caseen Gaines

4.0

There's 1.21 gigawatts of information packed into this little Pepsi Free sized book.

The most compelling parts include:
*A detailed account of a stunt gone horribly wrong in Part II.
*The bad deal Crispin Glover's replacement got--mistreated on set then tricked into fueling Crispin Glover's lawsuit.
*Why Eric Stolz was recast
*Backstory on Claudia Wells and Elizabeth Shue

This book is packed with stories and interviews about the making of this movie trilogy. At times, while not afraid to document negative things, it feels too promotional, but it is worthwhile, fun book. Also it has color photos in the middle!

I found myself reading a lot of entertainment based click bait articles on Facebook. I wanted to stop, so I tried reading this entertainment journalism book. It worked, I scrolled less and felt better--as I always do reading a physical book.

I found this at the Loussac Library, which is part of the Anchorage Public Library.
