e1dred 's review for:
The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside the Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made
by Greg Sestero, Tom Bissell
First off, I LOVED this book.
For those considering reading this, treat this book as if it is a sequel to the movie. I can't imagine that you'd enjoy this book as much if you haven't seen the movie. Greg Sestero does his best to explain things in the book, but it's no substitute for seeing the scenes in the movie that he's referring to.
Sestero's account of his relationship with Tommy Wisseau and the making of the room was hilarious, and very well written (I'm sure this is due to Tom Bissell). Greg has a knack for telling a story.
Even though I rated it 5 stars, I do have some criticism. Sestero always painted himself as the smartest man in the room, and Tommy always as ubiquitously gaffe prone. He was always self-aware, and Tommy was always self-unaware. I was sometimes eye-rolly at how excessively thoughtful and component Sestero painted himself. He always SO insightfully saw things in their true light. You're cool Greg, we get it.
