But Have You Read the Book?

With it's visually stunning cover art, I can see this being a great coffee table book. The content is actually interesting and enjoyable, with each little essay focusing on one film/literary combo. I liked the essays that offered new information and analyzed things a little more, however, most essays didn't seem to do that. I wanted more depth, but I can see that that's not what the author intended for this book, which I totally understand.
