What is the author's style in Rebel Without a Crew: Or How a 23-Year-Old Filmmaker with $7,000 Became a Hollywood Player by Robert Rodriguez?

The introduction and epilogue of Rebel Without a Crew were written some time after the Mariachi frenzy died down, so those parts differ from the body of the book, which is directly extracted from Rodriguez's diary, written between 1991 and 1993. Apart from the introduction and the epilogue, which contain Rodriguez's recollections, for the main part the structure of Rebel without a Crew is very linear.

In his diary, Rodriguez gives an almost daily account of not only his filmmaking endeavors but also of everyday occurrences. In random accounts, Rodriguez discusses sicknesses, birthdays, or family gatherings, which, although it makes the story seem like a patchwork, reminds the reader that Rodriguez has a social life, too. Overall, however, Rodriguez keeps his eyes on the prize and mainly writes about making and then selling his movie.
