Literary Critiques From An Antiquated Rogue And Brother Of The Quill

All About Me! by Mel Brooks — Knowing very little about this guy's life before show business, I found the first half of this book fascinating. He never had a cheeseburger until he was in the army? Unfortunately the chapters on Mel's classic movies do not offer much more insight than the average IMDb trivia…
