## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Entertaining and kind of sad
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019*

A well written (although it leans into sensationalism) account of the careers of Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and Eddie Murphy.  Not at all sure that all of their glory days are entirely behind them.  And I wonder whyRobin Williams and Billy Crystal were only mentioned a couple of times.  But all in all, an entertaining and fun read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Compulsive reading!!!
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2019*

If you saw ANY of the films of John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Dan Ayckroyd, Eddie or Steve Martin in the 80's, you owe it to yourself to read this book. Fascinating from page one to the end, it tells you what happened behind the scenes on these classic comedies with ego, drugs, sex and parties, not to mention the tugging back and forth with execs to get these films made. My reading habits are terrible and for me to plow though a book in just a few days after I received it is a miracle. This book is such a book. I found myself picking it up at every chance to read a chapter or a few pages only to find myself digging back into it. You will love this book!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Terrific read
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019*

4.5 starsI can't remember the last time I read a nonfiction book all in one day. I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised I practically devoured this one as I love behind the scenes pop culture stuff like this and anything 1980s related automatically peaks my interest. I couldn't believe how many things I learned from the book considering how much of my head is already full with random celebrity/tv-film industry tidbits. (I'm the person you want on your trivia team because I always bring my A game for the entertainment portions.) So basically this is a good read for those who have a casual interest in the topic and also the die-hard pop culture fans.The book follows the careers of Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, John Candy, Rick Moranis, and Steve Martin with much of the focus taking place during the 1980s which was when most of the careers were at their highest point. There's a ton of good behind the scenes info of the movies and tv shows they were a part of as well as projects that each person was close to working on but in the end a deal wasn't made. It was particularly interesting to see just how many films originally had John Belushi as the first choice but because of his death ended up going to another actor. And while much has been written about classic films such as Animal House and Caddyshack, this book manages to provide details not just about hits but also the pretty crappy ones most of us haven't thought about in ages like Neighbors and Nothing but Trouble. The author also manages to provide a good look into the personalities of each person featured as well as what others have to say about what it was like working with them.I really can't say enough good things about this book as it was a terrific read. If the subject matter interests you, for sure pick this one up!Thank you to First to Read for the opportunity to read an advance digital copy! I was under no obligation to post a review and all views expressed are my honest opinion.
