How was Catching the Big Fish?

I'm a huge fan of Lynch's movies, but the book seemed a mite pretentious when I was scoping it out at the bookstore.

It was all right. There were a few chapters (they're all really short) that give some insight into some of his films, but a lot of it's about meditation. I guess it would depend on how big a fan you are. I didn't buy it - just checked it out from the library. I'd say even if you are a big fan to check it out from the library.
