review 1: I was interested to read about the life of Phil Hartman. His murder at the hands of his wife was so painful and shocking, that it was somehow comforting to read about all the triumphs and failings that preceded that moment. Hartman deserves to be remembered for all of his talents, not just for his time at SNL or the violent way he died. The author did a good job of examining Hartman's virtues and foibles, putting his life in context. He was not a perfect man, but was an extremely talented actor, artist, and comedian, and should be remembered as such.
review 2: I discovered SNL around 1990 or so, when I was 11 years old. I was too young to stay up that late, so I would set my alarm for 11:25 and sneak back downstairs to watch Carvey, Myers, Farley, Sandler, Rock... more, and Hartman. Best cast ever.Hartman, the grossly underrated character actor, was always a favorite. I remember being devastated when he died. The details around that night were really fascinating and terrifying. The build-up was also really good, detailing Hartman's early life and career. The part about the funeral and post-funeral was a waste of time and space. Good book, but it wasn't on par with The Chris Farley Show. less
