I have recently become interested in reading and learning more about John Wayne. As a child I liked him, didn't pay that much attention as a college student and most of my adult years. Now I find myself intrigued to find what I can about him. This book, by Scott Eyman I found to be very interesting. It has fueled an interest in me to see more of his old movies. At this point I need to say that this book would be a good one for one who is interested in the movie business, film making, the development of the Hollywood movie industry. It would not be of a particular interest to someone who wants the personal and family life of John Wayne, only. This book does not go into a lot of detail on his three marriages, his two divorces and two sets of children. They are covered, as are his romances, his parents, his illnesses, his politics and friends, but mostly in relation to his life in the movie studios, film business. There is a lot to be learned here, and for a reader that is not in for the personal stuff only I would HIGHLY suggest this book. Take your time reading it, it is like a telephone book! Well worth the money!Read full review
