Unscripted: The Epic Battle for a Media Empire and the Redstone Family Legacy by James B Stewart, Rachel Abrams

3.75

Wow. So this was a wild ride. I thought there was no way this story could get any more scandalous, but between Holland and Herzer and the elder abuse, Dauman's attempted coup, Shari's back and forth in good graces, Sumner's weird relationship with his family, Les Moovnes and #MeToo, the attempt from the board to oust the Redstones and their power from CBS...it was crazy! There were so many times I had to look people up on Google to put faces to names and remind myself this was all real and it happened. Seriously a soap opera, no wonder it inspired Succession.

There was so much going on, and so many depictions of the bad parts of humanity and greed and selfishness. I just hope that the people involved learned from all this...cause yikes. There were a few times you could tell the author's opinions and leanings, which was also interesting.
