Customer Reviews

Entertaining, genuine, much more than Maverick and Rockford. A must read!

I love this book. It isn't a conventional autobiography, it's grouped by subject (the "Files"?). He says what he thinks without being nasty, and he talks about his career which is so much more than Maverick and Rockford. At the end are "Outtakes" which are stories by friends, family and colleagues, and they're very entertaining! There's also a listing of all his films and TV movies with his comments on each. I highly recommend this book.

Really good book

Men and women will like this book. Interesting and entertaining. Love this man
