The American edition of this book was published two years after the English edition. It attempts to "Americanize" the original book, obstensibly to make it more palatable to the American audience. However, the editing was very lax and British slang appears throughout the book. In particular, the British slang term "naff" so permeates this book as to be off-putting. One doesn't mind that odd repetition of a slang phrase; however, this parituclar word is used over and over, ad naseum. Combine that with the many factual errors (that could have been corrected by a simple log-on to IMDB.com) rendeers the book less than enjoyable. ( )
