Essentially the book is a fun read, and it is an accessible and fascinating way to easily gain psychological literacy! Gluss and Smith offer us an intelligent approach with which to take on several well known cinematic characters. Basically he puts them through analysis and takes us on their journey as if these characters were real people (thus the clever and pertinent title!)”. Deena Gornick “deenag”(London, England)
