    Author: Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller

    type of book: Non-Fiction
    call number: 791.45/Sha

    This book is strong in story.

    Summary:
    Anyone who is a fan of SNL, no matter which season they feel was the best, should enjoy this book. The story of the show from the mouths of those involved is interesting and eventful. I actually almost cried when I read the reactions of various SNL alumni upon hearing with the death of their friends Gilda, John, Phil and Chris, and laughed as they told of the backstage antics of the staff.

    I would recommend this book!

    Why?
    My only dislike with this book is the format. Although I cannot think of a way it could have been done better, I think that the format is a bit choppy. Still, I highly recommend it to anyone who loved -- or still loves -- watching this show every Saturday night.
