Everybody enjoys Woody Allen's work. We love his films and his humor, just not his private life. The book is the direct result of an interview that Woody had done with Richard Schickel. Shickel is a well-known author and film critic. Woody talks about how he makes films and why he loves it. His methods are quite different from the usual Hollywood planned script.

The original interview was seen on Turner Cable. That was only a part of the full interview that was shown. The book prints the entire the complete four-hour interview. Viewers only got a shortened version.

Now we are treated to Woody himself explaining his method and he show us insights into the work he has done and his career. It's an easy read and fans will enjoy it.
