Howard Hughes was one of the most amazing, intriguing, and controversial figures of the 20th century. He was the billionaire head of a giant corporation, a genius inventor, an ace pilot, a matinee-idol-handsome playboy, a major movie-maker who bedded a long list of Hollywood glamour queens, a sexual sultan with a harem of teenage consorts, a political influencer with intimate ties to Watergate, a Las Vegas kingpin, and, ultimately, a bizarre recluse whose final years and shocking death were cloaked in mystery. Until now, few people have been able to penetrate the wall of secrecy that concealed this complex man.

Well Done!!!

One of the best books on Howard Hughes. Very well done without all the "Woke" "Feminazi" judgements that normally come with a book like this. A great first book if you do not know anything about his life and a great book if you are an Hughes aficionado also. Highly recommend..

Very interesting.

Very interesting book. Goes into more depth than the movie. If you are fascinated by aviation and history, I would highly recommend this.

So interesting!

They left so much out of the Aviator movie. Loved listening to this man's life. Wow.

Wonderful!

I loved hearing about Howard’s life and the things he did, and invented. He was a truly gifted amazing man with an incredible life, until the end.

Stunning detail - eye-opening

Well researched, compelling, epic account of the life of one of the most incredible, interesting and influential businessmen of all time.

Fascinating- yes- long and a lot of attention paid to his many love affairs and less on his business exploits. But it gives great color to the story.

Exposes the mormon leaders

Exposes the Mormon leaders. Howard Hughes was a genius man . He definitely left a footprint in time .

Too many girlfriends

Did Howard have a lot of girlfriends? Absolutely. But they dominate the story. You could easily miss Spruce Goose and everything around it because the author is too focused on the girlfriends.

If you are interested in the tabloid side of Howard's life, it's good. It is well written and well performed. But I quit with about 6 hours to go. I am not sure I'll ever return.

same thing again and again

Read the epilogue and last chapter. It will save you time and aggravation of hearing the same escapades over and over. Painful.
