Summary: A compelling tale of a great Hollywood tragedy
Comment: The authors have done an amazing job of compiling an incredible amount of information and assimilating it in a well-thought out and informative manner. The story of how Jon Peters and Peter Guber were able to so completely screw Sony is unbelievable. Yet, Kim Masters and Nancy Griffin boil all the subplots down into a manageable and compelling story that is completely accessible. It isn't often that a non-fiction book reads like a novel. An absolute must-read for anyone interested in the film industry.

Summary: Fascinating illustration of testosterone on steroids!
Comment: Feeling like a skinny wimp brushing sand off your face?
Instead of Charles Atlas reach for a copy of "Hit and Run".
This brillantly written account of Peter Guber and Jon Peters
assent in Hollywood culiminating with their co-chairmenship
of Sony Pictures is a true how-to for anyone short on personal
chutzpah. Details of Guber and Peters personal interaction skills in-
cluding verbal assaults and tantrums on desktops will get
even the meekest reader's blood pumping and send them off in
search of their own victim. As a business professional I
found Griffin and Masters' book chronicling the pathetic
waste and destruction left behind by this duo to be one of
the best business books I've read in a long time. And I
found the depiction of their in-your-face management style
to be a refreshing respite from mild-mannered Dilbert.
In addition to a primer on the Sony company and the highly
competitive consumer electronics industry the book is chock
full of juicy tidbits on the 'stars'. (Check out Jack
Nicholson's advice to Kim Basinger on the set of 'Batman'
concerning her 'performance' with Jon Peters.)
Possessing extreme self-confidence, tenacity, and greed,
Jon Peters and Peter Guber exemplify the best and worst of
achieving the American Dream in "Hit and Run."
