review 1: It definitely feels like this book only reveals the tip of the iceberg as far as Reubens' polarizing effect on his colleagues. To other reviewers who claim 'no one has anything negative to say' about him, I wonder if we actually read the same book. Halfway through, I told my husband, "Sometimes reading this book is like watching a bunch of toddlers throw mudballs at each other," and we agreed we're both glad we're not in show business.It does read a bit like an extended Wikipedia entry with a Pee-wee fan blog tacked on, but for someone like me who never watched the show as a kid, it is interesting and entertaining. I do wonder if his indecent exposure scandal would be as big a deal today, when it would only be one of ten such incidents in a given news week. It's not like h... moree was voting on legislature when he did it.
review 2: I enjoyed this book because I'm a big fan of Pee-wee, but as stated before there was nothing scandalous in this book. The conflicts that were discussed were presented as arguments. There was no new information about Pee-wee's arrest. There was more time spent on the details of the puppets than anything controversial. This reads more like a fact book and I'd only recommend it to people who are big fans. less
