I very rarely read non-fiction, so I wasn't planning to purchase this book, but last weekend I was seated in the row in front of Justin and Taylor at a book signing. Listening to them explain their book to all the readers who stopped by for autographs I became intrigued. Based on what they said in their pitch I anticipated that the book would be full of entertaining behind-the-scenes stories of their exploits as dancers. And it is. What I didn't expect was the amount of humor. Not only are many of the stories themselves funny, but the lists of the types of dancers, the do's and don'ts, etc are hilarious. I also didn't expect as much introspection as this book offers. It's not just a collection of stories and observations, they go beyond that and give the reader an inside view of the mind of a dancer, on stage and off. The casual, chatty writing style allows you to feel like they're sitting there telling you the story. From laugh out loud moments to brutally honest details this book is packed full of insights that only those with personal experience (and the guts to write about it) could offer. An interesting and entertaining read. Well done, guys!
