The Friedkin Connection : A Memoir

Surprisingly good. Mr. Friedkin is an excellent storyteller, and he focuses on his movies, not the gossip surrounding his life. He discusses nearly all of his movies (interestingly, there is no discussion of the stinker Deal of the Century, which was weird because he discusses several other clunkers he directed). As it should be, there is a lot of discussion on The French Connection and The Exorcist, his two best known works, and a fair amount of discussion on one of his underrated sleepers - To Live and Die In LA. Well worth the time,
