Read a few chapters for class. Informative and accessible. Interesting but a lot of information I already knew.

Though I used this book a lot in my film class, I did not really like it. Some chapters were total nightmare whereas some were actually interesting. I found it boring to read in general and it was also weak in its arguments. Not a terrible source but not great as well. I did not learn a great deal from this book. It was okay.
