I just finished reading this book and it was such an eye-opener! Elaine May's career is so intriguing, and I love how the author dives deep into her contributions to Hollywood. It's a great read for anyone interested in film history, especially if you're a fan of classic comedies.

Informative but Lacked Depth
While this book offers some interesting insights into Elaine May's life, I felt it skimmed over some of her most impactful work. The writing was engaging, but I was hoping for more detailed analysis of her films. Still worth a read if you like Hollywood history.

Disappointing Quality
I was really looking forward to this book, but it arrived with some pages crumpled. The content is okay, but I expected better production quality for the price I paid. I wish it focused more on her lesser-known projects.
