ACE OF CAKES (Duff and Willie Goldman) - December 1/09

Well, this took a lot longer to read than I thought it would (I thought I'd just breeze through it in an hour or so). This is an almost ridiculously exhaustive (yet oddly superficial) look behind the scenes of Ace of Cakes, and as such, it's basically pretty interesting and undoubtedly quite informative. But Duff's super-positive approach ensures that the book often feels like an advertisement for the series - ie there's nothing negative here. And it would've been nice to get some real nitty-gritty info on the show (ie how much are the cakes?) For fans only. **1/2 out of ****
