 This is a book you need in both print and audio. It's an incredible collection of actual interviews woven together to tell the hilarious story of the funniest movie ever made. The print edition adds imagery and context for some of the stories but there's nothing like hearing it from the people who lived it in their actual voices.

Audiobook was amazing but I think that the actual story had a little bit too much going on for what was at it's core a very simple story. I wanted more of Kase and her medium tendencies. Less of Detective Lobos' story. And I wanted more on Dios. I didn't fully believe she'd go to the lengths she did with seemingly little motivation. 

Would make a killer tv show.
