I thought this "memoir" might help me to get back into John Irving`s writing, as I haven´t been enjoying his novels lately. Unfortunately, if anything, it steered me farther away. I did however like learning about the movie business and the surprisingly complicated process of turning a book into a movie, but the text is just really dry. I couldn´t help being bored even though this is quite a short book. My Movie Business didn´t even make me want to watch the movies it discusses so unless you´re a dedicated John Irving fan and adore the movie adaptations of his novels, I can´t really recommend this.
