This book is so full of errors and inconsistancies that I began to doubt everything in it. It made me wonder if the author even knows Sly as a person or understands him in any capacity. It certainly isn't a book for Stallone FANS because it portrays Sly as a bottom feeder and (tries!) to makes the reader think that Sly is a low-life who possesses every negative quality known to mankind. Not only does the author make fun of Sly on practically every page from beginning to end, he also quotes all negatives from "alledged" co-workers, "friends", critics, etc. Most of the "quotes" from Stallone are hearsay, not from actual interviews between Sly and the author. And nowhere in the book will you find that Sly cooperated with or endorsed this "biography". It's a joke and the worst [amount of money] I ever spent on a book. ...

This book is really enjoyable, it describes the climb of one legendary actor: Sylvester Stallone.From his early teen adventures till "copland", it's full of information, fun, deep thoughts, quotes from the infatigable optimistic. Know more about the 1000 % profissionalism Sly applies when he's on duty.

I was very pleased with the book and was fascinated to find out information that I did not know about Sly. However some parts did get boring for instance I did not want to know the relationships in detail of Sly. HOwever some bits were very interesting this included the review on his films and his background.

This is a great book on Sly. The author does seem to harbor unhealthy envy for its subject andit does come across. But has lots of info upto its date.

How good could be an unauthorized biography of a living person? Not too great, but it's the only one on the market that deserves to throw an eye on. Something to stand on my library's shelf beside "Sly Moves : My Proven Program to Lose Weight, Build Strength, Gain Will Power, and Live your Dream".

It would be poor even if it admitted it were fiction. This author clearly does not know Sly Stallone, and set out solely to criticize him at every turn. Very poor use of "quotations" and "friends" . . . totally inaccurate attempt at "biography". Shameful way to make money off the life of a respected actor and person. Don't waste the time . . .

Seemingly a panorama of the life, the work, and the relationships of the big-time star Sylvester Stallone's till he married the third. Not much praise, lots of criticisms. Quite complete in says sharing. Source of the says is either Hollywood street or streets where Sylvester Stallone is or is made to be seen.
