 Flaws and Triumphs December 4, 2002

I've been reading about Arnold since I was 18 in 1972. His bodybuilding accomplishments are legendary and now he is a famous movie star. Leigh didn't necessarily dig for negative stuff on Arnold; she wrote what appears to be are the facts of his life. No one is perfect and each of us has comments and experiences we'd rather the world did not hear about. It's all part of Arnold's life good and bad but interesting and fascinating as well.
 very interesting book,his life is surprising December 4, 1998

you don't really know what his life is like until you have read this book. All the things that he had to go through as a child, and all the things he had to go through growing up will surprise you. This book gave me a different perspective on his life.
Is this the real Arnold's Life? July 17, 2002
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm a big arnold fan, so you know where I
stand on the subject. I've read all his books
"The education of a bodybuilder" ect. When
I read this book I thought all the facts are
here about Arnold's life ,whats wrong?
This book trys to give an investigative
reporter angle. It gives us the dingy
look at Arnold's life, on such topics as
sexuality, steriod use, and even racism!
Look, I don't know if any of these topics
covered are true or not. After all this
is the unauthorized bio of the Austrian Oak's
life. To sum it up this book tries to
bring to light the dark side of Arnold's
life. If thats your cup of tea ,then read this
book!

the real arnold March 20, 2004

there is a reason why you can't find this book when you type in arnolds name on amazon.com. this book is an unauthorized, unpublicized invesitigative report at the real arnold, the one that does not want to have his million dollar image and governorship ruined by sexual scandal, steroid use and various other elements that make him HUMAN. this book is the real deal about arnold, the one he does not want you to read, the one that is not being published, the one you had trouble finding.
 Arnold, America, Ambition January 31, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was intrigued to read this book when I learned the biographer was prevented from appearing on ABC's Good Morning America by Arnold's publicist, the all powerful Pat Kingsley. It is a well researched and written book with no agenda. I held back a star because his journey to America was fascinating and the hunt is more exciting than the kill. It made me respect him more what sacrifices he made to come to this country and I pass no judgement about being a "boy toy" to a septegerian Spanish prince as a means to get out of Austria. Even it was only posing, and no touching. He used whatever he had to get to America. He has nothing to be ashamed of and his children will know if he did not do what he did they would not be here to judge him. It was a big mistake to kill this book it will one day idemnify him as a dreamer who took action.
