American Rebel: The Life of Clint Eastwood Audiobook

" A very sexist book if you ask me, but good reading if you must understand Hollywood. Definitely a man's book, but good research for this female mind as it chronicles the journey of an actor who got by in Hollywood by essentially playing himself and learned what Hollywood wanted from him the hard way. I like Clint Eastwood now I must say because I like him better as a director than an actor (plus I don't like westerns). He really does get better with age... "

" The most B.A. actor/director in the movies. Such an incredible career. "

" Ugly. I guess the most delicate way I could put it is that this is an unremarkable, overrated book about an uninspiring life. "

" Clint Eastwood comes across as so many of his film characters: cold, aloof, ruthless, egotistical, and a man of few words. I remember when his affair with Sandra Locke was made public I was so disgusted with her for breaking up his marriage. What a joke!! He was born a Tomcat and had bedded almost every woman he came across. When she sued him I really thought she was a money grubbing woman trying to use him to further her career. This book certainly proved me wrong! Eastwood has talent, but he's not the sort of person you'd want to socialize with. "

" Makes me want to have a long Clint movie marathon "

" Surface coverage of Eastwood's life and films. No indepth interviews, just magazine quotes and film critic reviews. "

" I've loved the last 3 or 4 movies that Clint Eastwood has given us. The man's personal life leaves me a bit cold, however, which may temper some of my admiration for him. "

" OK book. I like Clint as an actor, but was less impressed with his personality. "

" This was an interesting book. AI t would have been better if the writer did not have such a tendancy to get pissy (about Eastwoods movies, who he slept with ect). Eastwood is an interesting person, but when you are none to bright and try to write about him your BS shows. Read Schankels (sp) book "

" Very good biography of an actor/director with a lot more 'depth' than you might think. "

" I so admire Clint Eastwood's growth and talent as a director that I wanted to learn all about him. I'm almost sorry i read the book because I learned things that I prefer not to know about his private life. The writing was not terrific, but neither was it distracting. "

" Not my usual kind of book, but an enjoyable change of pace. Struck a good balance between tattley, tell-all and factual accounting of his career and influences. "

" As a huge Clint Eastwood fan since the spaghetti westerns - I thoroughly enjoyed this book. "

" Really good insight to the man, however, more biased than I would like in a biography. "

" It's ok. Not official so most of it is anecdotal "

" I've always like Clint Eastwood. "

" I'm a huge fan of Clint Eastwood and his movies, but he's a pretty sorry individual. "

" I did not finish this book as it seemed to be information just gathered from another book. It was interesting to see what a cheat he was though. But other than that who really cares. "

" A very objective biography of Clint Eastwood. I really enjoyed Marc Eliot's going into depth critically on Clint's films as well as his life. "

" I've loved the last 3 or 4 movies that Clint Eastwood has given us. The man's personal life leaves me a bit cold, however, which may temper some of my admiration for him. "

" Like the man on screen. Not so hot about the man off screen. "

" An unauthorized biography, but neither "tell-all" nor adulatory. Eliot takes an even-handed look at one of Hollywood's icons, in a very reader-friendly style. I liked most of Eastwood's films and I liked this insider's glimpse of the man. "

" It's ok. Not official so most of it is anecdotal "
