Unlikeable narrator does unlikeable things - side characters come and go with unexplained presence and irrelevance. Some good thoughts and insights into how acting relates and connects with our humanity and how we can live our lives better. Some very different perspectives that can only come from someone in this industry which makes up the majority of the value of this book. A different view at a mid-life crisis.
