Hit and Run

Came to it late, worth the time.

On a Hollywood run as of late, and this one had positive reviews. Those reviews were right. The book is a good read and worth your time. You need to go into the book with your eyes wide open. Mr Gruber and Mr. Peter's level of greed and utter lack of management skills are, at a minimum, off putting. The book makes it abundantly clear that the marketing men ran Hollywood in the late 80's and 90's. It also made it clear that Sony took their eye off the ball in the late 80's, losing their dominance in electronics while they expanded into “software”. The book is a gossipy cautionary tale for managers and business owners.
