What's Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing, Its Cast and Crew, and Its Enduring Legacy of Service by Mary McCormack, Melissa Fitzgerald

emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

5.0

I've been a fan of West Wing since I was 12 years old. I've seen the series more than a dozen times and learned that you can actually wear out a DVD by watching ours too much. This book is an incredible behind the scenes book, with anecdotes on its creation that are funny and meaningful. My favorite parts weren't the behind the scenes look at casting or making of some of my favorite episodes, or stories of the actors. Instead, I enjoyed learning about the acts of service and the involvement of the entire cast in civil service and charity work. Finally, the final words, the Jed Bartlet speech cobbled together from the bits of the scripts was an incredible message. It's an amazing book, I loved it.
