Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: And Other Things I've Learned by Alan Alda

2.0

A little disappointed with this one. I'm a big Alan Alda fan so I was looking forward to this. The writing was ok (not good, not bad) but with a life as storied as his I guess my problem was with the content that he chose to write about. A lot about the actual craft of acting but not a lot about him - I finished the book and still don't know how many kids he has. He briefly talked about MASH and West Wing but really that was it in terms of his actual work. He was nominated for an Oscar and he devoted about two lines. He spent almost no time talking about his wife or his friends or his accomplishments. I know he's written other books so maybe he gets into it more but this book just didn't click for me.
