This was kind of a slog to get through. There are 57 interviews in this book and many of them say more or less the same thing while a few of them say pretty much nothing at all. Would have benefitted quite a lot from a little pruning or a wider variety of questions, or both.
Gelwicks isn't a very seasoned interviewer, so the book is at its best when it's focusing on interesting subjects and letting them talk at length about themselves. When that happens, this book is very insightful, but just as often, it feels like the author is just going through the motions to add another name to the table of contents.
I can say I got something out of this but I could have gotten a lot more out of a more polished version of the same book.
