Customer Reviews

Lots of details in this book

I just bought this book in June and finished it a few days ago. It had lots and lots of detail about Pete Duel’s life, from his childhood and family backgrounds, his high school years, and then his college and tv and movie career. There were a few times I got a little impatient to get to the Alias Smith and Jones period, but it did keep me turning the pages. If you are a big fan of Pete Duel and want a detailed discussion about his depression, alcoholism, and other personal struggles, this book won’t disappoint.
