Now that that’s out of the way…

The basic timeline has been written and spoken about a multitude of times: Rosanne–>Parenthood–>Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie–>Toy-Story–>Alien: Resurrection–>Buffy/Angel/Firefly–>Serenity–>Dr. Horrible–>Dollhouse–>Cabin in the Woods–>Avengers–>Much Ado About Nothing–>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers: Age of Ultron coming up (forgive me if I left one or two out), but rare is the chance to find out from the perspective of Joss Whedon himself…the stuff that didn’t make it, changes and compromises he had to make, changes he refused to make, the insecurities, the disappointments, the thrills, and the joy. This biography from fan Amy Pascale goes so in-depth, Joss could have written it himself (it probably would have been a little more self-deprecating though). I’m a fast reader. I change books like I change clothes. But this book? I took my time. I savored every word and every moment, like a last meal. I read it the way I read a favorite book for the fourth time or watch a favorite movie for the seventh, knowing already what has happened, but now enjoying the subtleties, or the ability to be surprised at something familiar.
