Review

Entertainment Weekly "Must List"“[Nashawaty] reveals in his comprehensive history just how the flick’s legendary creators scored such a perfect game.”―Entertainment Weekly“A narrative that explores the seismic shifts in comedy during the ’60s and ’70s that led to Caddyshack… the story of a movie that prominently features an animatronic gopher is surprisingly deep and engrossing.”―A.V. Club“More fun to read than the movie was to watch… [a] scene-stealing book.”―Washington Post“The book about the movie is better than the movie… an astute and lively study of '70s comedy that zeroes in on a film considered a failure upon its 1980 release… a sterling example of how to construct the story behind the story… Caddyshack fans will delight in the book's on-set details, including the technical challenges posed by that animatronic gopher. For the rest of us, this is ground-level look at the birth of a scene.”― Dallas Morning News“Caddyshack unleashes revelations about one of the most quirky and surreal film productions and the stars who made this movie one of the most beloved of all time.”― Parade“You don’t have to be a fan of the 1980 comedy “Caddyshack” to enjoy the terrific new book about the movie by Entertainment Weekly film critic Chris Nashawaty... Nashawaty also tells the broader story of how a new generation of comic actors and writers took over movies and TV during the 1970s and 1980s... Caddyshack captures a long-vanished era in movies, as well as showing us how one popular film of that period came together.”― CT Post"Chris Nashawaty doesn't settle for mere behind-the-scenes gossip or trivia. He tells a novelesque story full of gigantic characters―some of whom happen to have famous names―that shows us where comedy comes from and how classic movies are made, usually unbeknownst to the people making them. Wonderfully written and impeccably researched, Caddyshack is a treat for fans of the movie or anyone who cares about comedy and its flawed practitioners." ― Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, author of Seinfeldia“An incisive, definitive portrait of an epoch in the evolution of comedy - told through the improbable saga of the making of a beloved, oddball classic - that solves one of the enduring mysteries of the movie business: How in the name of Bushwood’s gopher did this fractured fairytale ever come together?”― Mark Frost, Co-creator of Twin Peaks, author of The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever andThe Greatest Game Ever Played: Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet, and the Birth of Modern Golf“I opened this book thinking, 'Why Caddyshack?' I closed it completely exhilarated by the way it answers that question. This is a tough, sharp history of comedy and competitiveness, of rising stars and brilliant upstarts. Of difficult egos, awful behavior, fragile friendships, bursts of inspiration, and blizzards of cocaine―told by the survivors and shaped by Chris Nashawaty's welcome insight and perspective.”― Mark Harris, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures at a Revolution and Five Came Back“Funny? Of course. But Chris Nashawaty's book is also a vivid, surprisingly poignant history of a generation that revolutionized American comedy. Well, and of drugs. Lots of drugs.”― Chris Smith, author of The Daily Show (the Book)“Chris Nashawaty has written a ridiculously funny book that is also tragic, sweet, profane and profoundly entertaining. It's full of sex, drugs and gopher holes, of course. But Nashawaty also tells, through Caddyshack, the origin story of modern comedy. The result is a richly reported book as rollicking and quotable as the film at it honors.”― Steve Rushin, writer for Sports Illustrated and author of Sting-Ray Afternoons"Caddyshack is an American classic born out of both design and happy, slacker accident. The story behind its making is in a way as fascinating and hilarious as the movie itself. This made me love the movie more. And I didn't think that was possible." ―Will Leitch, author of Are We Winning? and God Save the Fan, founder of Deadspin."An everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about look at a cult movie whose reputation has grown in the four decades since its initial release. Nashawaty provides an eye-opening pleasure for Caddyshack fans."― Kirkus“In Nashawaty’s hilarious depiction, the production is shown to have been utter chaos, albeit with some creative genius tossed in... [Caddyshack] provides both an entertaining showbiz chronicle and, by the conclusion, an unexpectedly moving tribute to Kenney’s short life and lasting comic legacy.”― Publishers Weekly“Nashawaty’s prose is lively, and his exhaustive research is bolstered by interviews with many of the film’s principle players, including the famously elusive Murray. A wonderful celebration of a passionately loved film.”― Booklist

I pre-ordered this book months ago and devoured it when it arrived Tuesday. Caddyshack’s the first “adult” comedy I remember going to the theater to see—maybe not the best pick for an eleven year old. A family friend and her younger brother took me to a raucous, packed Friday evening show. I loved it, everyone loved. It played well here in the Midwest and later when it would come on cable I’d watch it again and again.Which is why it’s so surprising that it got such a tepid response at first. I hadn’t how it related to the sea change that came from Animal House, or how it fit next to the other big comedy blockbusters of that year The Blues Brothers and Airplane! Nashawaty does an amazing job providing context. He spends solid time looking at the evolution of the filmmakers from Harvard Lampoon to National Lampoon to Second City to SNL. When we get to the production of the movie proper he provides an amazing behind the scenes with the crew, cast, and hangers on.But he smartly tempers that with his discussion of the rivalries, painful relationships, and excesses of the production. He gives us a keen sense of emotions and human cost involved, spending a good deal of time talking about the tragedy of Doug Kenney. The book’s smartly structured, a pleasure to read, and the author has great descriptions and excellent turns of phrase. A great read.

The Making of a Loveable Movie! Starting at Harvard then the National Lampoon then Animal House and finally Caddyshack how a small group of people, many SNL castmembers and original castmembers, make an average movie that is immortalized forever to those who laughed our way through the viewing. Great stories of Chevy Chase looking at it from a different perspective now. And Bill Murray shows his true improvisation capabilities. Pond or Pool per Chevy Chase in a totally improvised scene.How did Rodney Dangerfield steal the show and Harold Ramis as a neophyte director who early and in editing almost ruined the movie? But really this book is about Doug Kenney. Don't know who he is? Well look him up. And if you ever need to lead a band in to a deadend alley, he's your guy.

Stellar piece on one of the most iconic comedies of all time. Going into reading of this book, I knew very little of the breadth of chaos that went into creating this film. Was sad to read about Doug Kenney’s spiral, and shocked to realize I’ve been to a specific location that factors heavily in his zany life.I wish there were as comprehensive books as this about my *all* my favorite films from growing up. The author really painted a fantastic portrait of what it would have been like to be caught up in the heyday of Hollywood’s rebirth in the 70’s and 80’s.

The author has done a fantastic job of guiding the reader through a web of interconnected personalities, circumstances and events with uncommon clarity and exceptional style and pacing, which results in a book that is much richer than its title/topic suggests. A revealing, penetrating, and always entertaining description of how bright, creative personalities working in multiple media shaped and were shaped by the culture in the late 70s. This book about comedy is a deceptively serious achievement and success.

I wrote that headline because that's not common for me. Maybe in a few days, but finishing it on the same day is rare. My attention span isn't the greatest so I'm often reading a few things and watching a few movies and tv programs at the same time. But I read this all without anything else interfering.Anyway, I found it all very interesting. The tragic story of Doug Kenney, Harold Ramis's directorial debut and the incredible amount of improv that was involved (mostly for the better), National Lampoon, SNL and SCTV background, the stories of the actors involved, the incredible amount of editing necessary, etc. etc.What was meant to be the main story line was also very surprising. I'll just say that a love triangle with the woman at the middle of it having a goofy accent (that isn't funny, just annoying) is a recipe for disaster. Luckily everyone recognized where the strengths of the material were and it's stood the test of time.The only thing that bothered me (but probably wouldn't bother most people) is the writer putting down comedy before that era, and even in that era that didn't involve certain groups. But that's just a minor gripe.So I recommend the book highly for anyone who is a fan of the movie.

Though Caddyshack is revered as a golf movie, there’s little actual mention of golf in this book about the making of the film. Rather, the book delves into the history of the people behind the film, from their Harvard Lampoon roots to the founding of The National Lampoon and the tremendous success of the first film from the Lampoon people, “Animal House”.More than just a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, this book chronicles a time of great social change, holding great appeal even beyond just the interest in the film itself. That being said, the backstory and the behind-the-scenes looks at the personalities involved in the movie will only bolster the interest of Caddyshack fans.

Interesting behind the scene story of the making of the iconic film, Caddyshack. Well written with interesting mini-bios of Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Harold Ramos, and Doug Kenney among others. Lots of cocaine fueled the making of the movie. I got the sense that I’d read some of the stories that comprise the book elsewhere, but I still enjoyed it. Recommended.

This is a well-researched and enjoyable read taking the reader behind the scenes. Between the drugs and egos, it is a wonder the movie ever got made. There were several parts of the movie that seemed "out of place" and after reading the book, I now know why and how they occurred.If you are a fan of Caddyshack, I highly recommend this book for an in-depth view of the people in front of the camera and those behind it. Fascinating history of how the main players came to prominence and the interactions that came directly from those early days in their careers.

You know that famous saying about repeating the same thing over and expecting a different outcome being the definition of insane? Welcome to insanity.This not-too-smart 16 year old keeps trying to outdo genious adults and failing. She tries this over and over and over. And somehow, every time she thinks she can succeed, but every time she has no plan, no weapons, no training, no education, no strength, and no common sense. The girl is seriously stupid. It's absolutely painful to read!!!!On top of that, the ending is literally a deus ex machina! Literally!!! The girl herself (Rosie) has nothing whatsoever to do with the success!Rosie's actions are so un-thought out, it's actually hard to sympathize or even like her. I stuck with the series because the concept was interesting and novel, but I skimmed about 25% just because I didn't have the patience for Rosie's repeated stupidity.The other thing is the book takes place not too far in the future. It would have been nice if the author had done even a rudimentary search for up-and-coming technologies. In the 2060s I don't think we'll still be using cell phones the way that we do today. There are so many instances where the technology in the book's future just didn't move on from what we have today. That was pretty disappointing. I gave the book 2 stars for the concept, but that's it.

Caragh M. O’Brien brings an exciting conclusion to The Vault of Dreamers trilogy with The Keep of Ages! Things in this one were pretty intense with danger looming around every corner! It was a pretty fast paced read that I was eager to see through to its end!Rosie is off to find her family before Berg can get to them, but she’s quick to learn that Ian is also on her trail. Though she soon learns that Berg is, once again, one step ahead of her. Her family has been taken and being hidden somewhere in an abandoned amusement park. Rosie will have to trust the help of a newcomer who is very acquainted with the Forge school and even the park where her family is being kept.There’s just something about being in an abandoned amusement park that terrifies me and also sends a thrill through me! It’s not quite Scooby Doo standards, but close, as that amusement park was just closed at the time if I do recall! Lol! And there’s even a bit of horror movie style at play here because this is where the enemy lies in wait and where he has a secret laboratory.What I feel is the most terrifying is that Berg is still Rosie’s legal guardian and he basically wants to kill her in a very twisted sense. I still don’t understand how he became to be her guardian, through the recaps of sorts, I know her parents somehow willingly allowed it to be so, but I think things might be somewhat twisted in that matter. But still, the mad scientist who wants to insert his mind into your body and boot your mind out is your legal guardian! That’s all sorts of nuts! And to think his employees are totally fine with what he does because SCIENCE! Makes no sense at all to me.There was definitely a lot of tension in this one! Danger lurks around every corner, as I said! And things just get so intense in this! Running from the bag guy, running back to the bad guy, getting caught, escaping, around and around we go! It’s crazy! But a good kind of crazy.I’ll admit, even after finishing this one, I still don’t quite understand some of the things that were happening. Science was hard enough, but to make it more neurological science and you really have me confused! Mining dreams, using dreams to put into other people’s minds, other personalities taking over said minds…it’s freaking mind boggling! I felt like when I was reading I was able to have a loose grasp of what was trying to be accomplished but turning around and trying to explain that to someone else leaves me flabbergasted! It’s definitely one of those kinds of reads; one you can enjoy for the most part but can’t put into words what’s going on to outsiders.I was floored when we saw Ian again! He was kind of a creepy villain because he was a little obsessed with Rosie. But other than his initial appearance, he wasn’t in the story that much. I kind of expected for Rosie to be trying to outrun him for the most part, but it was not meant to be. I just thought it would’ve provided good conflict for Rosie, but Caragh had other conflict encounters for Rosie to deal with instead.In this one we also get to have Burnham and Linus back in action to help Rosie rescue her family. I guess my initial theory that there was no true love triangle was somewhat accurate. While there isn’t a heavy play on romance in this one, you’re given enough clues as to who Rosie is going to be with. There’s no conflicting decision to be made anymore, or if there ever was a time. Oddly enough, I was okay with this. Though I will also admit I wouldn’t have said no to just a little bit more kissing! LOL!The ending to this one felt a little bit abrupt in some sense. And I’m still not 100% sure I understood how it all happened. The conflict was resolved, but then there was still several pages left that presented a new problem for Rosie and her friends. But in the very end, I was pleased with how things ended. Sure I might wonder what happened in this sense or that sense (vagueness to avoid spoilers of course) but nothing that left me overly upset about the lack of answers. And really, it was more of “What will happen next with Character X?” sort of thing. All in all, a pretty decent read, if it was a little lighter on the science portions I might have enjoyed it just a little more, but still I don’t regret reading it at all! It set forth an exciting and suspenseful pace and I found myself most eager to see what the outcome would be!Overall Rating 3.5/5 stars

This was every bit as good as I was expecting. I can't say much without spoilers but it left me content for the most part, with the parts I was not content with being intentionally not closed.

Final book of the series was a little wackier than the first two and hard to swallow, but you still root for the characters to prevail in the end. Great read to pass the time on the treadmill!

Great

Best book trilogy ever!!

I love this trilogy!

***Review posted on The Eater of Books! blog***The Keep of Ages by Caragh O'BrienBook Three of The Vault of Dreamers seriesPublisher: Roaring Brook PressPublication Date: August 29, 2017Rating: 4 starsSource: ARC sent by the publisherSummary (from Goodreads):In the fast-paced, high-stakes conclusion to Caragh M. O'Brien's Vault of Dreamers trilogy, Rosie travels to a derelict theme park to shut down dream mining once and for all.Driven by fear when Dean Berg kidnaps her family, Rosie Sinclair strikes out across the country to rescue them. When an elusive trail leads her to Grisly Valley, the contaminated ruin of a horror theme park, Rosie has to consider that Berg may once again be manipulating her every move to make her fearful, priming her for a final, lethal dream mining procedure. As Rosie struggles to outmaneuver Berg, she unearths the ultimate vault of dreamers and the hint of a consciousness more powerful and dangerous than any she's imagined before. Faced with unspeakable suffering and otherworldly beauty, Rosie must discover how to trust her mind, her friends, and reality itself.Propulsive and deeply speculative, The Keep of Ages concludes the Vault of Dreamers trilogy with stirring possibilities for what it means to be alive.What I Liked:This trilogy is hands-down one of the most bizarre and interesting series I've ever read. It's a futuristic science fiction thriller trilogy with an odd premise that people will either love or hate. I didn't love The Vault of Dreamers, but I really enjoyed The Rule of Mirrors and The Keep of Ages. This conclusion novel was intense, exciting, and nail-biting, and I couldn't get enough.I will try not to spoil anything from this novel, but there will probably be plenty of spoilers from the first two books. Unavoidable, unfortunately!Rosie is on the run, trying to go home to find her family before Sandy Berg does. But Berg finds them first, and kidnaps them. Rosie has no one and no idea where to look. Lucky clues lead her to Grisly Valley Theme Park, and old amusement park that was closed years ago. At Grisly, Rosie finds her sister - in a hidden vault of dreamers. Rescuing Dubbs comes with consequences, and Rosie must find her parents. It is up to her to find her parents, take down Berg, and free her consciousness from a strange voice in her head.From the start, this book was filled with nonstop action. Rosie is on the run constantly, never stopping once she realizes that her family has been kidnapped by Berg. This book never had a dull moment. The abandoned theme park setting was very creepy and definitely a good setting for the vault of dreamers. I got chills, when Rosie first went into Grisly! So creepy.The dream mining concept of the series is very much a large part of this book's plot, even if Rosie and Berg barely communicate. Rosie is terrified that her family is being mined. She herself gets caught in the vault and gets mined. The dream mining is creepy and takes on a very strange aspect in this story, about which I won't say too much.Rosie is an easy character to follow and like. She is impulsive and quick to take action, so it's no surprise that she leaps into a trap, trying to get to her family. Sometimes Rosie's decision-making made me roll my eyes, because she is so impulsive and doesn't always think things through. But it's one of her better qualities too - she doesn't think, she just does. She stops at nothing to get her family back, which is very admirable.I'm so glad Linus plays a big role in this book. He is present from about a third of the book and onward. I adore Linus - he is so sweet and very smart. Burnham was also part of this story but not in a love-triangle-y type of way. Lavinia, a new character, is critical to the story. She is the mentor archetype, and I liked her a lot.In terms of the romance, Linus and Rosie are cute together. At first they are a bit tentative, because Rosie is worried about the camera that was in Linus's eye (installed without his permission). But that is taken care of by the time she sees him next, and they hash things out. I like them together. Linus is so sweet and calm, compared to Rosie who is jumpy and impulsive. In many ways, Linus is too good for her. But I like them together. There were a few short, swoon-worthy scenes between them.The main conflict of the book is finding Ma and Larry (Rosie's mother and stepfather), and being free of Berg. I won't spoil anything about the climax and the ending but let's just say that this book has a surprising plot to it, and the ending involves aspects that you wouldn't see coming. The ending is really good and most characters get a nice ending. I liked the ending.Overall, I liked the book It was an excellent conclusion and a good read.What I Did Not Like:Honestly I thought Burnham was a waste of space and he didn't even need to be present in this story. He is one of those secondary characters who is more annoying than anything else.I also kind of wanted an epilogue! Like, six months from the end of this book. Readers of this book will now why I specified that time frame.These are little things that didn't really detract from the story as a whole though!Would I Recommend It:I highly recommend the series in general if you're looking for futuristic science fiction to read! The series has a slow start, and it's definitely creepy and strange at times. Mining dreams is done without consent so there is that. But I was intrigued and fascinated by this series. This conclusion novel is definitely worth the read if you've read the previous book(s)!Rating:4 stars. I am so glad I stuck it out, with this series! It's a strange, interesting series that makes you want to look over your shoulder and check for cameras everywhere. I'm curious about what O'Brien will write about next!
