Interesting

Five Easy Decades goes through all of Jack Nicholson's films. The blockbusters as well as the ones that tanked. You also learn a bit about Jack's Mother, sisters, 1/2 siblings, his many girlfriends + many kids. This book was an interesting read. I learned some facts about Jack I didn't know. Also the book lets you know how each movie came to be. Behind the scenes stuff. Some of the chapters are bit dragged out and too much trivial information is given, but overall a good read for any Jack fan.
