4.0 out of 5 stars Garner - Still A Mystery, June 21, 2001
By George W. Reynolds (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews
The author does an excellent job of pulling together material from many sources to provide interesting insights into one of Hollywoood's most popular actors. Unfortunately, Mr. Garner did not provide an interview for the author and very little of his private life is revealed.

It is enjoyable to hear the background behind his various movies and TV series as well as his other business ventures.

The reader is left with an impression that Mr. Garner is a much deeper and more complex man than one would suspect.

This book was written in 1985 and so much of Mr. Garner's life is not covered. After a mid-life crisis involving numerous lawsuits, a troubled marriage, poor health, deep depression, and the "cancelled" Rockford Files, Mr. Garner seems to have mellowed considerably. It would be very interesting to update this bio with current info.

1.0 out of 5 stars Strange Book, December 1, 2006
This has to be the strangest book I've ever read. Having been a James Garner fan since the first episode of the original Maverick series in Sept. 1957, I remember the sequence of events quite well. I also have clippings of interviews with all the major players in this book from that time to this.

Many of the quotes - especially those attributed to Roy Huggins and Jack Kelly - are absolutely contrary to the facts as have been written hundreds of times, often with quotes from both Huggins and Kelly that are completely at odds with what is quoted here.

There are also many situations that were simply not as they are described here according to the many sources of information that I collected at the time.

I hardly know what to make of it all. It's difficult for me to trust anything here, knowing how much is demonstrably in error.
