Milch has so many excellent thoughts on art and storytelling, but I did find large portions of this book fairly dull. The stuff about NYPD Blue and Deadwood were very interesting, but then he does weird tangents about gambling and why that lead to Luck, which I understand, but was just bored by. However, the final chapter, when he is dealing with Alzheimer's and also trying to finish a Deadwood film, was EXCELLENT. I'd probably recommend reading the book just for the final chapter.

7/10
