Review of "Good to Great" by Jim Collins

I have not lived Jim’s life, so very difficult for me to be in his shoes to know what drove him to his point in life to derive such strong convictions about his work. With that humble sympathies towards Jim, I write this critic.

A film critic friend selected 100 grosser top Hollywood movies and after studying them for 10 years with the help of the most high-tech movie analytical software, interviewing directors, producers and key crew members of films, and comparing them with 100 biggest flops; he came with a book - a 100% guarantee formula for “10 keys on how to make a Hollywood Blockbuster”. If you think that someone can make a Hollywood blockbuster following the 10 keys, then this book is surely for you to read. If not, than you may like to read this review.
