My disappointment in this book is mostly my own misplaced expectation. I’d certainly read a companion book on Hughes’ films outside the teen angst genre. This book is basically a collection of essays on the film Pretty in Pink.

For anyone and everyone who can recite -- on command -- from Hughes' early movies, this one is a must read.
If you've never seen any of the Hughes teen films that form the entire basis for this collection of essays, or came into them too late, you probably won't appreciate most of this book.
