Review title: Warning: See The Publisher's Weekly Review
Product review: I saw the author on Hardball and was taken in. Seemed like a good guy. I bought the book; what a mistake. The writing is shoddy, the 'combat' he describes is more complaining than fighting, and he's so full of himself that his hint-dropping is tiresome. This isn't a memoir so much as a selfish rant. I'm an avid reader. I should have read the Publisher's Weekly review more closely. For someone who is impressive onscreen, it's clear now he just speaks in sound bites (or he can't write). The story has no pace and no intent except to say: Look at me. This is a churn-em-and-burn 'em platform. The characters aren't real people. They are props for the author. They ebb and flow around his big head. I was hoping for a much better read. Buyer beware.
