I got this book on the personal recommendation of the author and what can I say that hasn't already been said by other reviewers! David Levy has written an exemplary guide to the world of animation. Not only does he offer his own experiences, he also draws on veterans from all over the industry for their advice. The result is a very refined and concise guide to not only the industry, but also animating in general. Every sentence has been written with a purpose, so the book is best enjoyed over several days or weeks. br / br /There is no need for me to analyse this book further. If you have even a slight interest in animation either as a career or out of curiosity, go and buy a copy for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

I found Irena Chalmers' book in my post office box in late afternoon and took it to Panera Bread for a quick coffee and with sole intent to first skim it while jumping around. I was still reading at closing when they kicked me out. From there I sought refuge in a favorite 24 hour diner drinking water, decaff coffee and orange juice until I could see the ocean sloshing behind my eyelids. As in the movie Titanic I slowly felt my stern slipping down in the booth as my bow tried gallantly to stay afloat to read just a few more words. Finally, in the wee hours of the morning both bleary eyed and cross-eyed I had to admit defeat surrendering to the sandman seeking the refuge of my pillow. The next day I read at every opportune moment. The next day the same finally finishing it. br / What an incredible work! I
If you are reading this review you have a computer. If you have a computer you can go to the FBI website and review pretty much every ounce of information contained in this book. This book is a waste of time and you would be better served buying yourself a cup of coffee and relaxing for an hour than scanning this book for the one piece of information it might contain that is not on the website.
As a recent high school graduate, I felt I was having a small mid-life br /crisis. I knew vaguely what I wanted to do with my life, I suppose: I knew I wanted to help people who really needed it. However, I had no idea what my job would actually entail, or how to go about getting my foot in the door. The more I tried to research my options, the more I realized that the career I want is one that is not discussed to any great extent, let alone one that is the focus of great self-help books. The books that I could find were difficult to read, and weren't really aimed at people like me who are just beginning the job hunting game. And then, luckily,
Overall I found this book to be very useful. The short, concise chapters made the information easy to digest. I work with undecided college students, so not everything was relevant, but the majority of the book served as a great refresher. Every career counselor will make it his or her own, but there are many useful suggestions and ideas that can be adapted to different situations.
