Customer Reviews

It is what I have expected to be : an exciting and interesting book.

David Hasselhoff is a very good actor, an intuitive and interesting guy who became a very well known celebrity all over the world.Knight Rider was the best show for the kids especially and Baywatch is the greatest tv series for all ages but mostly for guys.David is more than just the average actor.He's got charisma and charm.

Great Autobiography

I was always a fan of the original Knight Rider tv series so I picked up an autographed copy of this book. It's very well written and quite entertaining. The Hoff's personality comes through and the book reads like he's talking with you. Very inspirational and highly recommended.

Long live the Hoff!!!!

What can I say about David? It's all between those hardback bindings. He's funny, hardworking, serious, honest, hopeful, and determined. Most of all, he is, just like the rest of us, Human! He definitely pours his soul out to the reader in this book, and he isn't afraid of it, either. You definitely see it all here. His joy, his pain, his triumphs, his mistakes. When I saw him in Knight Rider, I thought he was on another plane, unreachable. Reading his own words gave him more of a down to earth persona for me. A real page-turner from start to finish!!!

Most hilarious read ever!

I gave the Hoff autobiography as a Christmas gift, and the recipient of the gift loves it so much that she now sends out a quote of the day which she calls the "Daily David." There are so many great stories in that book that I can hardly contain myself!!!

So tired of all the "nagitivity"

"Nagitivity" is a word I invented. It's nag + negativity. And frankly, I'm so sick of the millions (billions?) of David Hasselhoff detractors that I could pull my chest and back hair out. Hoff is about transcendence. Hoff loves all the peoples of the Earth, except the Inuits. He made that perfectly clear to me in a dream I had about him. Hoff is first guy to acknowledge his limitations. No, he can't act. Yes, his looks are fading. Maybe, he assaulted his ex-wife. Indeed, he's tall. I just get sick of people taking the easy shots at David. WE GET IT! he's NOT talented. No one is trying to argue with you. Just realize that Hoff has feelings too and when you continually bash someone for things outside of their intelligence level, then I have to call dirty pool.
