Fantastic!!!

Great Autobiography. Very engaging till the very end. Highly recommend if you are at all interested in basically a history of recent Hollywood.

This story was amazing!

I enjoyed this because being in the industry can be challenging and sometimes difficult being a celebrity. Tim’s persistance was commendable and he pushed forward to launch his career and get work when it was offered. His love for family and marriage shows he just wanted that bond and security we all long for and few get. Being married 43 years, I’ve had my share of bad times but mostly good. Tim saw a bright future with Lizzie and that was a beautiful happy ending to his story!

Damn Glad I listened

Kept you engaged through all phases of his life and career. Really enjoyed the listen!

Captivating and Interesting

I like how the author wrote in detail about his career and personal life so we could get a deeper understanding of his life. Being an iconic actor, it was interesting to hear him talk about some of the back stories behind various shows and movies.

Interesting and Informative

Matheson, who lacks a moral compass in many instances, has had an interesting and event filled life. This book is all Hollywood so do not expect this to be an intellectual pursuit. Just liberal behavior bouncing from opportunity to opportunity. Fun read.
