I'm not a Rob Lowe fan, and so I would never buy the full book. Having been an early teen when "The Outsiders" was released, though, I was interested in the free download of these 2 chapters from the book. The movie featured a cast of unknown young actors, but many of them have gone on to have great careers in Hollywood.The excerpt provides some of Lowe's behind-the-scenes experiences while filming "The Outsiders". Don't expect a complete overview of the filming process, just a few tidbits. Lowe has clearly grown a lot as an actor, and he throws in some learning experiences and the occasional "if I knew then what I know now". He mentions the struggles of being a teen actor. The excerpt also gives a peak into the audition process as Lowe moves on from "The Outsiders". In addition, Lowe briefly mentions other then-unknown actors he comes across, who also go on to become household names. I thought that was fun.A short fun read for Lowe fans or "The Outsiders" fans.
