Eight Years In Another World

If this were fifteen years ago, when daytime dramas were still widely expected to continue on forever, I would use this book as a guide in creating my own. While an easy read, Eight Years In Another World is intelligent, and captivating from the start. This book is one of the few I've read where I feel I've been granted an all-access pass to explore behind the scenes. Continuing good points, I absolutely love how Harding Lemay willingly puts his work on display against others, and openly admits when mistakes were made. It's always refreshing to hear both sides of a story told honestly.

One complaint. It's depressing, as a diehard fan of the genre, to constantly have Mr. Lemay referring to it as a lower form of entertainment. While I understand that's how he feels, and respect it, constant reiteration makes one wonder if he realizes who his audience is. If you can overlook that minor flaw, this book is a must-read.

A+
