Summary: A KICK BUTT READ
Review: An Excellent read. I'm using some parts of this book for several two minute monologues (For contemporary parts). My favorites is the Molecules read, I've lived and met that guy.

Summary: Not Bogosian's best.
Review: Eric Bogosian is a very funny and probing writer. This book is not the best example of that talent. "Pounding Nails" is a collection of monologues that work together as a one-man show. The monologues are funny, and, at times, pretty good social commentary. Unfortunately, the monologues get tiresome. The characters are all unique, but that is primarily because they are all extreme characterizations. If you create enough outlandish caricatures, you are sure to avoid having them overlap.If you're interested in Bogosian, I would suggest "Wake Up and Smell the Coffee." This collection would be a good second choice.

Summary: This book is my personal battle cry
Review: Eric Bogosian's take on life as well as other people is well depicted in his writing. After a performance of "The Fan" out of this book to audience of 500, I got praise including a standing ovation. I recommend this book to an actor who is committed to energy, fun, and improvised movement.
