A review by vladco
Powerhouse by James Andrew Miller
3.0
I didn’t understand half of it, and could have used better explanation of terms of art used throughout. Not all on me either, as the book's disorganization and non-sequitur jump-cuts from story to story across the 40-year timespan make following along somewhat painful. Also, it sometimes feels like an endless litany of Hollywood name-dropping.
All that said, this is an incredible book that taught me lots about the structure of Hollywood. I didn’t even think of buyside and sellside talent markets, nor of “packaging” talent before this. As a result of this book, I’m much clearer now regarding the depth of my ignorance about the entertainment business.
