It seems that the publisher scanned the paper text, ran it through some OCR software, and published the work without a human reviewing it for quality.. On their own they are awesome, as friends they are beautiful, but together, THEY ARE EVERYTHING.I won't tell you anything else, because this story truly deserves to be felt personally by every reader.If you want something different, if you want something that is written with such outstanding depth and a beautiful style, this book will absolutely blow your mind.I know for a fact that I will return to this book when I need a boost for life, love and freedom from my darker days. i love wildcards. It covers everything--the technology behind these new innovations and the technology of silent film-making, the business and financial aspects, the artistic angles, and the human aspects. Just finished rereading it and decided to give my review.Vincent, Survivor is wonderful. A world thought completely separate and unaffected by the supernatural is suddenly thrust into a magical apocalypse and expected to survive in extreme situations henceforth considered incredulous and fictitious.There’s no doubt in my mind that this book will see large acclaim in the marketplace, whether that’s in a niche market or on a large scale. Great information on writing for t.v.. It is sad how he was livingHe focuses on just five years--1926 through 1930--but tells the story on many levels. The reality, of course, is more complex. The Speed of Sound fills a gap in any film buff's library. . We learn about the technology, the details of actors' and technicians' lives, the elaborate business machinations associated with the rise of sound, and the resulting transformation of not just the movies but Hollywood itself. Nowadays the "talkie" seems, like some other technological breakthroughs, to have obliterated its less-advanced predecessor, the silent movie, in one fell swoop. As Scott Eyman writes in his prologue to The Speed of Sound, "To examine this period of unparalleled industrial change, it is necessary to reverse the perspective, to give a fair, detailed idea of what silents were like to the people who made and watched them, and how talkies permanently changed the creative and personal equations." Eyman's eye-opening book fulfills this missionFrom acclaimed author Scott Eyman comes the fascinating story of how the transition from silent films to ‘talkies’ transformed Hollywood.It was the end of an era. It was a turbulent, colorful, and altogether remarkable period, four short years in which America’s most popular industry reinvented itself.Here is the epic story of the transition from silent films to talkies, that moment when movies were totally transformed and the American public cemented its love affair with Hollywood. As Scott Eyman demonstrates in his fascinating account of this exciting era, it was a time when fortunes, careers, and lives were made and lost, when the American film industry came fully into its own.In this mixture of cultural and social history that is both scholarly and vastly entertaining, Eyman dispels the myths and gives us the missing chapter in the history of Hollywood, the ribbon of dreams by which America conquered the world.
