A review by bargainsleuth
Alfred Hitchcock by Peter Ackroyd
3.0
Another library offering through the Libby app. I've read several biographies on Hitchcock, including the more recent Hitchcock's Blondes, and all the other books do a deep dive into the psyche of Hitchcock and what made him latch on to the macabre for his filmmaking.
There's nothing I haven't heard before. Reads more like a filmography than a biography. The films were interesting to revisit, as I've seen all the American films as well as many of Hitch's British offerings, but if you're looking for insight into the actual man, this book isn't for you.
The audio narrator was good. Would search out his work again.
