Hollywood: A Third Memoir for $11.49

Cheap Hollywood: A Third Memoir Discount Review Shop



The more people know and like McMurtry, the less they seem to like this book. His fans apparently expect a lot more than this slight, casual set of rememberances about screenwriting and Hollywood.

I'm aware of McMurtry, of course, but haven't read his fiction. I picked this up (at the library)and breezed through it in a pleasant few hours. The brevity and simplicity of the prose is indicative of McMurtry's great skill as a writer and his subtle humor makes the short trip even more enjoyable.

A light, but not tossed-off, book of reflections by a charming memoirist.

Shattered Love: A Memoir for $8.95

Cheap Shattered Love: A Memoir Discount Review Shop



Up until two weeks ago I knew very little about Richard Chamberlain.....I had not seen any of the Dr. Kildare Series or any of his movies except for The Towering Inferior. I did not know that he was also a singer and artist....I did know however about his strained relationship with his father because I once heard Chuck Chamberlain speak..

I am not sure what I was researching on the internet when I happened upon a Richard Chamberlain You Tube video but it caught my interest to the point that I watched all of the Richard Chamberlain You Tube videos that I could find....Purchased Shattered Love, and The Thorn Birds, The Bourne Identity, and Shogun DVD's, and Richard Chamberlain Sings Album....

My Daughter said, "Mom you are really going Richard Chamberlain overboard." ....HAHAHA... She is right....Maybe I should start a Grandma's for Richard Chamberlain fan club....HAHAHA

His singing has a very calming effect on me....I didn't tell my daughter that but had her listen and asked her opinion about his singing and she said, "His voice is very relaxing"...

I totally enjoyed reading his book and found him to be as talented a writer as he is actor, singer, and artist.....

His goodness shines through in all of the movie characters that I saw him play....well maybe not so much in The Towering Inferno.....HAHAHA.....

I can see why Shogun seems to come first on his list of favorite parts....it was the most versatile part ....... it even gave him opportunities to play and laugh.....

Thank you Richard for having the courage to share so much of yourself with others through your book.....A man once told me "We are only as sick as our secrets." And he said that his life is now an open book.

Thank you for choosing to uplift rather than tear down others in your book....

You're a good man Richard Chamberlain and I wish you well always.....Vicky
