I can't say that I dislike anything. This book is written out in journal style by the author. What I love is how Robert invites us on a one-on-one adventure through his trials and eventually, his triumphs of having to film and sell El Mariachi. This actually makes me want to go out and make my own film. Through his story, one realizes the sacrifices that one has to make in order to get to where one wants to be. Of course, I'm not too sure that I'd sell my body to science in order to do that, but the point is that one does what one thinks they have to do in order to achieve his or her own goals. The reason why I bought it? Initially, I wanted to get it as a Xmas present for my sister since she is studying film. I got her the book but then, I thought, I should go ahead and buy myself a copy since I'm interested in film myself. I don't regret it.Read full review
I received this book along with several others that I had purchased on recommendation. Since I was running a bit late and was reading another book at the time I decided to only flip through the intro to get a feel for the book. Before I realized it I had finished the intro and was working on the second chapter. Wound up reading the whole dang thing in one night. So don't read this book if you don't want to be engrossed , inspired to shoot & given practical advice.

The book came on time. I didn’t have to search for it in stores. The price was good. It was a nice touch to send a bookmark between the pages. It is the book that was needed,

Totally great story. Did not know about Rodriguez. He is a pro. He put his time in. I read much of it outloud to wife and kid during a long road trip.
