Trade Review
"We find it hard to talk about why we really enjoy movies. We swoon, shiver, laugh, and get aroused. But it can be embarrassing to confess to such responses, and difficult to describe them in words. Aaron Kerner addresses such dilemmas head-on in this brilliant book." -Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University
