If you're a fan of Lance Henriksen, you'll definitely enjoy this book. Moreover, if you appreciate the craft of acting, you'll definitely appreciate this book.

As far as I can tell, aside from sourced quotes spanning Lance's long career, this book is a conversation between Lance and Joseph Maddrey (co-author). Maddrey starts the topic, Lance responds with great detail and insight, and finally, Maddrey completes the topic. The preceding model culminates into a format that allows for quick and continous reading.

The greatest thing to take from this book: Lance Henriksen lives his roles, unlike many actors, who simply "act." You'll explore numerous characters, both good and bad, that either improved or drained Lance Henriksen when their accompanying productions were over. Naturally, Lance's method of choice had and continues to have positive and negative impacts on his life outside of acting, making this an autobiography with a pulse.

I give this book a solid "A."
