James B. Stewart's account of the Eisner years at Disney isn't as dishy as I would have liked, frequently glossing over the inherent cattiness of the entertainment industry in favor of dry, repetitive boardroom-minutes recaps; and the author is embarrassingly, squarely out of his depth whenever he attempts to discuss pop culture (poor fact-checking abounds); but the petty-sociopath-pathological-liar portrait of Eisner that emerges is nevertheless comprehensive, if somewhat lacking in editorial insight.
