Punktual Library: The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero

  
THIS BOOK. Everything you wanted to know about the making of The Room, and more! Take away the greatest bad movie ever as the subject matter and you still have a captivating, creepy, gripping, funny, vaguely unsettling, curiously optimistic page turner.

For every answered question there springs forth another half dozen fresh questions. We learn much about Tommy Wiseau; mainly that he is a secretive, confusing enigma, even to someone as close to him as Greg Sestero.

Seriously, if you have any interest in The Room, psychology or weird characters, buy this book now.. Things we learn:
  • Where Tommy is actually from (sort of!)
  • How Tommy made his money (kind of!)
  • Why Greg and many of the cast got involved and more importantly, stayed involved
  • What it's like to be roommate with Tommy!
  • Seriously, just read it
There are also photos and lines from the original script including such classic broken English as:
Promotion! Promotion! That’s all I hear about. Here is your coffee and English muffin and burn your mouth.
