"Don't Call Me Marky Mark" is a great book. It really enjoyed reading about Mark Wahlberg. He is a very talented performer, who has come a long way. If you admire Mark as a performer, you have to read this book. I started reading it and couldn't put it down until I finished it.

5.0 out of 5 stars And I am a guy too, September 13, 2000

By A Customer

I have only seen girls buy this book, but i, a straight man, bought it to see how he started his carrer and what his biggest influences in his life were. This books shares everything with the reader. No secrets were hidden. I love this book and would recomend it to anyone who is curious about Mark or wants to follow his shoes and try to make it as a respecable actor.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trash, July 18, 2001

By	Mark Shields "Super Genius" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is based almost entirely on accumulating second hand rumors and speculation from other sources and amassing them into what loosely constitutes 'A Book.' The author's only original section comes when he details coming face to face with Mark Wahlberg at a gym. Does he bother to speak to Mark? No? Why? Because the author is spineless. This book is spineless. Definitely bottom of the pile as far as unauthorized biographies go. A disappointment.
