Customer Reviews

Entertaining, Funny and Sad.
After seeing the film "Ed Wood", I was interested in finding out more about this rather unconventional man once named "the worst filmaker of all time". This book covers his whole life and includes a full filmography and bibliography (Wood both wrote AND directed). The whole book is made up of quotes from those who knew Wood, worked with him, lived with him and saw all sides of him. His angora fetish and transvestite lifestyle are just some of the delights contained within. Wood himself comes across as a very talented, misunderstood, unlucky, generally nice person, and I would recommend this very interesting insight into one of filmakings more colourful characters.
