Book Reviews of Pieces of My Heart: A Life
Book Review: Entertaining, Candid, Surprising
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book without many expectations, but found it extremely entertaining and almost uncomfortably candid. I am very familiar with the fact that most celeb bios are largely ghosted and filtered so much that the truth is the first casualty. But my very strong sense of this book was that Wagner was sharing his truth as much as he was capable of. As a huge fan of Old Hollywood, I really enjoyed his inside stories and found his account of the tragic passing of Natalie Wood truthful and heartfelt. Anyone with a good BS detector can see through the passages where the author is clearly trying to present himself or others in light that might be shining a little more brightly than was the case, but overall there is an awful lot of self-depracation in this work, much more than the ususal Hollywood memoir. This is a read that is an awful lot of fun and deserves to be on the bookshelves of anyone who adores movies.
