I'll admit I did go in to this book thinking I was going to love it straight off the bat.
Unfortunately.....no.
Yes, it was worth the time to read just for a few interesting glimpses in to the life of those behind Manos as well as the interesting first viewing and premier. But overall bout 2/3rd of this work isn't needed. It's dry and flat until you reach a handful of buried gems inside the heap. So while I did like Growing Up except for the first two chapters and section on the man who played Torgo, you might be better of skimming it rather than reading.

A heartfelt and honest account of everything that went into making one of the worst films ever made. Filled with more sentiment and earnestness, and far less nerding out, than one might expect going into it.
