As some of the other reviewers have said, it seemed like just a collection of complaints, rather than any positive information. I was looking for something that told the process of how one auditions, is chosen and begins the rehearsal process. (I have read this is other books, so that is what I was expecting.)And, the book is not really written, as much as simply a compilation of quotes.At first, I was thinking about donating it to my library. But, it was so depressing, I just threw it away.I do not recommend this book to anyone.
