Roy Adams reviewed Director Should've Shot You by Alan Dean Foster
Interesting but a little repetitive yarns about Alan's novelization work
4 stars
I had misunderstood the book to be an autobiography about Alan whose original writing I usually enjoy. Instead it is interesting but at times a little repetitive yarns about Alan's work doing novelizations for blockbuster movies.
Overall an enjoyable read and it was neat getting some insights into how Alan got into writing novelizations, why he enjoys it and plans to keep doing it.
The main negative for me were the handful of times Alan felt it necessary to provide "Yep, we get it she was/is a gorgeous bombshell of a woman, you could have simply said that and moved on." descriptions that went a little long to me. Nothing lurid or distasteful, just didn't add anything to me.
