"Peter Hoffman is like nobody else. He is Hollywood at its agressive, hard-bargaining worst, and at its noble, idealist best. If you want to know how the entertainment business really works, which is to say, how the monmey works and the deals and the law and the morality—and there is a morality—read this book. Peter has been in the blly of the beast (A-list version), and he has seen it all with his wide-open eyes. This is actually existing Hollywood, and Peter is the rare person with the brains, guts, and patience to explain it all."
