Review :
'Quentin Tarantino: The Iconic Filmmaker and His Work is a gloriously presented book bursting at the seams with enough information and detail to make even the mercurial Tarantino himself dizzy. For fans of Quentin Tarantino – or simply of those who are fans of cinema, period – this is must-read that you’ll struggle to put down' "...the book does a fine job of summarizing Tarantino’s personal and cinematic history." 'A highly recommended book that will give you an intimate look at the cult filmmaker of our generation.' 'Absolutely stock full of images, this page-turner also takes a look behind the scenes at Tarantino's work and what films influenced each of his many releases. This is a true entry for fans of film and should not be missed.'

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
