Mel is an idol, but this book wasn‘t everything it could‘ve been. The subtitle you see about his remarkable life in show business is true, and he‘s honest about it, you don‘t get a ton about the man‘s feelings. I loved reading about his early life and wartime adventures but then you mostly get IMDB trivia equivalents. One passage I‘m almost certain was copied from his son‘s Wikipedia page, nearly verbatim. Only for Brooks diehards.
