In this tale, we have the classic spoiled brat who has the good fortune to discover that food and friends have to be earned. The slowness of his education is important, for it really does take grinding misery to blast an over-inflated ego. And yet, the reward is entry into the human race.

Cerutty was definitely an extraordinary character, but "maker of champions" or any other such label is very generous. Specifically, his antics drove Landy away, which led to Landy actually developing his own training and Cerutty then taking the credit for making the world's fastest man. In other words, he was kinda sleazy.

It was interesting reading about his passion and his life, but I became tired for him.  Judging someone's dreams and goals in life is not something I care to do; we are what we are - what God, circumstances in life, and our DNA/genes created.  I admire his energy, determination, stamina, passion and whatever else it took to reach his goal, which I believe he has achieved, and have never read a negative review about him or his performances. His monetary gift to Texas was great.  People seem to love him wherever he goes  It was interesting to read about his travels and he must have a world of knowledge in his head.

I was a fan until I read this book.  What a selfish prick he is.  How could he put his mother and sister through all of that?  Artie is a talented man but chooses to live a terrible life.  I give him credit for "spilling his guts".  He tells it all and he does not try to make himself look like a hero.  A hero he is not.  I wish him and his family the best.

His vitriolic domination of all who opposed him was juxtaposed against his keen sense of humor and impeccable comedic timing. His Pearls were to Fleas as slop is to Swine, sustenance for the few who get it, and vomitus to those who did not (BW).

Gio and Bianca were too immature. Gio betrayed a man he saw what a rough emotional time he was having. Just because he didn't like the way Felix treated  Bianca, he shouldn't have betrayed him. Saying we couldn't help it, it just happened ? They were not likable to me.

I like his voice and his best studio work is amazing (although he also did some terrible work in the studio) but live he was a real arrogant jerk!!  I paid $100 to see him in the 80s (that was a lot of coin back then) and he performed for all of 45 minutes... with an attitude...  JERK!!!!

This is poor Dallas's story. We get to see him get that second chance and clear up that self disgust. But he is an honest man and tells her up front he'll always be bitter and grumpy, and pissy.

This man was given a gift. Those of you who think he needs refinement need to try to sing like him. He brings tears to the eyes of someone who can appreciate music, trained or not.  Get a life  jealousy will get you no where.  he is great.

It's an interesting story about the life of one of the greatest men of our time. He was by no means perfect, in fact, he was a very difficult man to live with. But then again, most great artist are and it's those flaws, his quirks, eccentricities, perfectionism and instinct etc were what combined into something him extraordinary. He truly is a visionary, artsist, genius. Despite what people think of him, be Apple fans or not, you can't deny that he truly made a dent in the universe and change our way of life.

Great book by the Joe Pepitone of pro wrestling.  One can't help but empathize with The Superstar.  This guy did pretty much all he could to die young.  In spite of himself, he is a living testament to the indomitable human spirit. I highly recommend this book, to anyone REMOTELY interested in this colorful character.

I hated Tony at first but ended up loving him to death, he was just that good. His 360 was unbelievable. Gretchen, Will's ex-wife, friend to his current wife and BFF to his sister-in-law, finally put herself firstsort of.

While I can never understand how Tony feels having lost his arm while fighting for his country, he really didn't have to be such an ass. Mad, sure, angry, yes and I get his being an ass but his level of asshole-ness is a bit much. He had loved Gretchen for 2 decades yet throws all his nastiness at her when all she is trying to do is help.

On top of Tony, Gretchen is about to take on the care of 8 year old Olivia. Her grandmother, the only mother she has ever known, is dying. Olivia's dad was killed in an accident early in her life. Olivia brings out a side in Tony that is so heartwarming it almost makes up for his bad attitude.

This was a really sad but really heartwarming story. Gretchen finally gets her much deserved HEA.

I was one of the biggest one of the many fans of Johnny, I fed my first child during his nightly monologue....from 11:30 till 1:00 AM in the very beginning.  I loved his humor and inguniety, his great guests and just the very interesting man when he allowed us to enter into his private life.  I so very much was disappointed to read that he was really very vulnerable just like the rest of us.  I missed him terribly and there will never be another Johnny Carson.....he was just a very special human being. I
