review 1: I really wanted something about his relationship with Farrah not his self absorbed look at me, look at me story. To me I heard, I was with this famous person, and then this famous person, then this one, but she was messed up, I am better than that so I went to this famous person and I only hang around really uber famous people because I'm awesome. The nail in the DNF coffin here- when he talked about their relationship while she was still with her husband, how Lee was drunk, Lee was working,.. oh this was a winner, Lee told me to take her out. Oh I see, that makes it ok then. Bah, selfish turdbucket. He hunted her, and she was easy prey, it sounds like. But geesh, WTH ?!?!!? He said she was the love of his life why drag this uninteresting story back up ? Oh yeah, I get it... more because you wanted to talk about all the big HOT Hollywood parties you went to. Still trying to hang onto her coattails Ryan ? He dumped his kids, his ex-wives and wondered why things were the way they were. Once again- pompous turdbucket. I only got through 1/3 of it. I never got to the part where I had respect for him. In her last months the media portrayed him as this noble man taking care of the love of his life. Sorry I don't believe it anymore, after the first portion of the book. The only person this man loves his his media persona. I am so disgusted by this man's over the top self deluded self promotional fantasy. I hope I never read another book tis awful again
review 2: This was a very riveting read. Ryan's dark-chocolate, smooth voice filled with regret, anguish and grief as he pours out his heart to the world at large, held me captive for long spells. I am totally convinced this man loved this woman with all of his being. However, I am not so persuaded of the wholeness of the narrative... Lots of drama and dysfunction pervade this story. So much heartache and sadness. Ryan and Farrah seem to have it all but a happy ending was not to be. Ironically, Ryan made the movie, Love Story, when he was a young man and in a case of real life imitating art, he was doomed to live out his own real life love story with Farrah. But at least he had many years before then with his love, perhaps did not always appreciate this as most of us do, until it was too late. I recommend the audio version of this book. The written words are not enough. less
