The Kid Stays in the Picture by Robert Evans

3.0

The book is definitely entertaining and moves very, very fast. You will need to re-read certain sentences and sections because the author assumes you know what and whom he is referring to. I think this has to do with the fact that this is a period book, one written and published when the references were well known at the time of publication. Reading it 25+ years later, many of those references are dated, as are many of the folks mentioned in this book.

The author's massive ego is evident from page one and it doesn't let up throughout the entire book. If you can get past him telling us how great he is, how good-looking he is and how successful he is and how many women he slept with - you'll be fine. At times these "attributes" help to propel the narrative. But most of the time, they are just there to feed his monumental ego.

One bit of advice - read this book in chunks. His story is a bit frenzied to take in all at one time.
