cheyenneet 's review for:
Live From New York: An Uncensored History Of Saturday Night Live
by Tom Shales, James Andrew Miller
To start off, the format of this book was perfect. It was just the right amount of light but informative storytelling/oral history that I was enthralled.
Some parts of it definitely showed the book’s age, and there were other parts that I wasn’t super into (particularly the last chapter on Lorne Michaels). I appreciated the way the rest of the book had intertwined the veneration for people involved in the show with the rest of the history, so that last bit felt a little dragged out and out of place. Overall a solid read, and definitely worth the few days it took to get through it.
