Recently finished this any wondered if anyone else has read it.
I was very surprised about the amount of detail he went into things and some of the things that he achieved. He even mentions the love child that he had.
Any one else's input and/of thoughts I would be interested to hear

Is this the one when he goes into a shop which can reincarnate a pet from DNA, and he says "I might be back", as apposed to "I'll be back"

Im not much of a reader myself but i am a fan of arnie so i downloaded the audio book to listen to when i go on holiday. First audio book for me, It sounds like its actually him reading it but it's in 3 part and each part is nearly 8 hours long.

I haven't finished this, nearly. It gets real boring when he gets in to politics. You can tell the tone of the book changes completely because after reading a portion of the book interspersed with lots of photos suddenly, no more photos.

Agree with this.

The sections on his bodybuilding and movies careers are interesting but the politics stuff is pretty dull, unless you have an interst in American politics. Some of the bodybulding stuff did read life a rehash form the earlier book 'Arnold: Education of a Bodybuilder'. I was suprised he devoted a whole chapter to his love child.

Well I just got back from holiday and read this , I must say it was a gripping read , yes the politics was a bit boring , but he's accomplished so much in his life , very inspiring read and shows what you can do if you really put your mind to it like he has!
