Recensioner i media

“When Green talks about the controversy in casting Hunter as Jesus in King of Kings and why he didn’t join the cast of Star Trek after filming the initial pilot, he is in peak form as a writer and an astute critical commentator. This well written volume is a must for Hunter’s fans”—Classic Images; “The coverage is detailed and the writing style informal and entertaining”—ARBA.
