The Disaster Artist

This book is a ton of fun. I HIGHLY recommend getting the audio book so you can hear Greg Sestero's dead-on impression of Tommy Wiseau. And honestly, his affection for (and intermittent frustration with) him. There are a few “bless his heart” moments where Sestero stumbles over what is clearly Tom Bissell's wording, but overall he does a lovely job of bringing the whole tale to life, and generally seems like a nice, talented guy. The collaboration of Sestero and Bissell works perfectly - clearly Greg provided the story, and the emotions, and Tom wove it all into evocative, flowing narration.

This story does a wonderful job of showing that Tommy can be unreasonable, obnoxious, deluded, immune to feedback and indeed reality, but also that he's sympathetic in some ways. This was exactly the right tack to take. It lets the audience continue to laugh at Tommy's creation and at Tommy himself, but also recognize his longing for the Hollywood dream and appreciate his grit and hard work.
