I enjoyed Stone’s voice and pacing. Felt like I was listening to my grandfather tell war stories. It never got old. Also, as an older aspiring filmmaker, I found this book to be quite inspiring.

Excellent. Very well read. Super engaging. Eagerly awaiting the next installment and to hear the story of JFK. I was inspired to watch his two documentaries on Ukraine. His new movie-lengthy documentary on the JFK killing is next on my viewing list. Thank god for Oliver Stone.
