Okay Story Line
This book was okay but it took me probably 2 months to finish. I feel like there wasn’t really a plot, it just kind of told a story of a man who found success but never found himself or learned from his arrogance. It kind of ended anti-climatically. Overall it was entertaining enough

Mm. This is a meandering book, I picked it up and put it down repeatedly. Is isn’t a book with a firm resolution. His drive for all the things, the discontent as he chases to fill the void... he never found the ‘thing’, the fulfilment or contentment.
Left me feeling the same, unfulfilled. Hey ho.

I don't understand how such an eventful life became such a boring book, but there it is.

I received this Kindle book in a Goodreads giveaway.
I had a hard time with this book. Thankfully it was only 200 pages, so I was able to finish it. It was just a bunch of name dropping, movie stars, presidents... But there was no substance to this book.

This isn’t a horrible book but it’s not a great one either. I got really bored throughout all the wine section. The restaurant sections were interesting at times.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review.
I think this was a cute, and quick read. However, it got to a point that the constant name dropping, and impossible scenarios became tiresome. It was like Forest Gump, but without the charm of Tom Hanks. The protagonist was incredibly selfish, and very unlikable. There was no development. He started off caring only about himself and ended that way as well.

The author hits his stride later in the book. It was cheesy at the start and I almost gave up because of the writing style, however, the pop culture references peaked my interest and I was able to get through it quite quickly.

This book is pure fluff. It's like the author was having an endless daydream of what it would be like if he could insert himself into a bunch of famous people's lives. I kept waiting for SOMETHING to happen (besides the deaths of Marilyn Monroe & JFK), some problem that wasn't overcome in one paragraph.
I hate giving books low marks, but this one should never have been read past page 20.

The writing is quite good, even in translation. The protagonist is challenging. He's driven, wildly successful, and a jerk - esp to his wife and kids, which isn't unusual for the time, but still frustrating to read.

Do you want to be a Writer? Don't follow this book:
1. Without a plot. This book is an example of text without a plot and without having a purpose to read it
2. A boring character. This book is about a guy who has all the luck in the world and no luster. Besides, it's only him. Those around them are only reference
3. There is no conflict. Any problem is solved one or two paragraphs later
4. The documentation comes only from gossip magazines, but does not go into anything interesting
Maybe is a good example for writers. You can see that even this trash is published and read
