Actors & Entertainers Editorial Review
The book "Unscripted" offers a behind-the-scenes account of the battle for control of the Redstone Viacom/CBS empire as the founder's mental competence and physical health deteriorates. The book is written with sensationalized sex, money, and greed, which depicts trashy greedy people getting and spending obscene amounts of money by manipulating an extremely wealthy and self-centered old man. The second half of the book is about corporate board infighting that demonstrates all the ugliness present behind the sanctimonious defense of "protecting stockholder value" overlaid with the appalling behavior of Les Moonves. The narrative is well-researched and well-written, with short and fact-filled chapters. However, some readers felt the subject was depressing, and the book did not provide an objective account of the events, and the authors' writing was more of gossip columnists. The book contains thirty pages of end-notes, but there is none cited when there is controversial quoted dialogue. In conclusion, the book is a fascinating but devastatingly depressing account of the Redstone family's legacy and the battle for control of CBS/Viacom.
