A Recommended Read. Becky Aikman has written a captivating tale that will resonate with anyone who has ever lost a loved one or knows someone who has. Saturday Night Widows is not a book about loss but a moving story of friendship. It is a beautiful novel about surviving devastating losses, moving past that heartache and embracing the future.

I loved how this book got into the nitty-gritty of the filmmaking process: casting, set-decorating, cinematography. It described the actors' different processes for preparing for scenes. It documents the (sexist) landscape in Hollywood, how hard it was to get this movie, this vision made. I expected some of that, but the detail was astounding, as were the details of the whole creative process that resulted in this film. Plus, it reads like a novel.

This was a great book. The most amazing part of it for me was that I had no idea how groundbreaking that movie was. I knew women fared no better in Hollywood than anywhere else, but I had no idea the degree of disgutingness they had to put up with to get a simple job. Callie Khouri's story was mesmerizing. I'm so glad that the events fell along as they did, with Ridley Scott directing. I don't think the film would have been nearly as successful if Callie had directed it. Her agenda was too different to make it a success. I admire her tenaciousness and her storytelling abilities. I love the Nashville show as well. I truly loved Thelma and Louise and particularly the score.… (más)

I LOVED this movie and when I saw there was a book about the making of it, my finger was on that request button as fast as I could get it there. And, I was not disappointed. This book was full of facts, quotes, reviews, opinions and trivia out the wazoo.

Did you know that George Clooney auditioned for the role that Brad Pitt got? It's in there and it's treated pretty humorously, as well.

I had no idea what kind of controversy this movie posed to a lot of people. All I knew was that I liked the movie. It was entertainment and I enjoyed it. According to this book, the movie caused all kinds of controversy. There was also several pages regarding the ending of the movie.

A book full of facts and one that I don't think I skipped a single page. I was that enthralled and into it. As a matter of fact, Kindle said I still had like 30 or 40 minutes to read, but that was due to the bibliography at the end. If your a trivia buff or a fan of Thelma and Louise, it's worth the read.

Thanks to Penguin Group and Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
