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

3.0

I am a big fan of Back to the Future and so it was fun to visit from a different angle. Most of the stuff I learned was a bummer (stunt accidents, shortcuts that seemed thoughtful but weren't, the reasons Crispin Glover wasn't in the sequels), but a few things were kind of fun. I never knew there was another actor cast for the part of Marty McFly. When they redid things with Michael J. Fox, they decided to change his girlfriend because of height disparity. That girlfriend was Malora Hardin (who was later in The Office, which seems significant because it was that book that inspired me to read this one). She seemed cool about it.

The final bits about the theme park rides and the fan clubs really made the whole thing peter out for me.
