I am not a big Arnold fan. I am a fan of biographies. They are usually very interesting and this was no exception. There are those that are written as hit jobs which this is not. A very fair analysis of his life thus far I think. Arnold has had 3 careers, body builder, actor and currently politician. This book covers all three. Maybe too much on the body builder, which was rather boring. Not sure how he earned a living in that phase. A kept man I would say. He became a millionare as an actor and I was never a big fan, not even the Terminator stuff. My favorite Arnold flick was True Lies which was very late in his acting career. I just never could get past the accent. Of course now he is the governer of California, and a typical politician. Say whatever you need to get elected, then do the opposite. Just glad he can't run for president. This book did not change my opinion of Arnold but it was very well written.
