“The audiobook offers the expected behind-the-scenes Hollywood sneak
peeks, but with the added bonus of Lowe’s vocal impressions of his
colleagues. His take on Warren Beatty is first-rate, and his
impersonation of Danny Glover ordering everything on the menu is worth
the price of admission by itself. This audio performance reveals someone
who is (at last) completely comfortable in his own skin and ready to
share his story, equal parts gossip and hard-won wisdom.”
