Review of 'First person' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Well, it's just a bunch of detailed interviews, from what it seems is over 2 decades ago. Maybe a fine book, but after reading through it I've no idea what the guy who put it in his Recommended Books List had in mind while doing that. Maybe I'll figure that out with time, maybe he had nothing in mind and just picked stuff at random, who knows.

Either way, this was at least an easy read and not badly written.
