The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made by Greg Sestero, Tom Bissell

5.0

---

This book was truly a joy to read. The Room is one of my guilty pleasures (although I can't watch it without the Rifftrax dub playing over it) and reading the making-of process of this movie was fascinating. I always thought Tommy Wiseau was a giant lumpy weirdo - and he really is, I found, after reading this book. Disaster Artist definitely endeared me to Tommy. He's a weirdo, sure, but he's a weirdo that just wants love and acceptance, something I think that we all can relate to. The writing was clever and funny, a nice change of pace from the drivel I've been subjecting myself to lately. (I'm sorry, brain, please forgive me.)

I heard that James Franco is going to make this into a movie and he's going to play Tommy Wiseau. I'm probably going to explode when that happens.
