Ratings and reviews

Have been a Burt Reynolds fan forever. Absolutely loved this book, I felt like I was sitting having a conversation with a friend the book was that easy to read. Too short though 😉

It is a decent account of Burt's life but it just seemed to lack a natural flow. It was broken down into 'blocks' without enough depth at times.

Really enjoyed the book..was interesting to know his thoughts and feelings on certain Hollywood names..funny and entertaining book.
