I don't know if I would've rated it quite as high if I hadn't been listening to the audiobook read by Tom Selleck himself. Hearing his voice telling the stories is what made it interesting. I'm not familiar with Magnum P.I. which was the focus of most of his stories, and I was disappointed that most of the work he did after Magnum ended was only briefly summarized in a few sentences. I'm most familiar with the movies and guest appearances he did during that time and was looking forward to hearing his reflections on those projects but there were none.
He seems like a decent, reflective guy who's just trying to do his best by those around him (he seems like a pretty conservative guy, maybe a bit anti-union but I appreciated his candor when addressing the union strikes). I enjoyed the way he told stories, and it made me want to watch his earlier projects and Magnum.
I hope he writes another memoir covering his later work, but I kind of doubt that he will. The epilogue felt very final and he sounded pleased with what he's written and there was a sense of closure in his reflections.
