Summary: A good surprise
Review: Over my youth, david cassidy was my idol, so as soon I knew that a biography of him as issued I got as fast as I could, but for my surprise many aspects related in this book were amazing for a fan just like I still be. I would reccomended this one for those who has been missing those good days of episodes of the partridge family.Just for easy reading

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not what I expected!!
Review: I was a bit disappointed in this book. Althoughthis did have some insightfull moments into ateen idol's feelings and frustrations, it turned into a brag book of sexual encounters!! The book does not help Mr. Cassidy gain the respect he so desperately wants, precisely because he sounds like a bragging teen, trying to show he is not a virgin!! Certain revelations are really tasteless such as bragging about penis size, and his re- jection of Susan Dey's sexual advances!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book , Brutally Honest
Review: I LOVED this book! I was a VERY young David Cassidy fan when he was in his heyday. This guy seemed like he was on top of the world when it was actually crashing in around him. The language and events described can be a little unnerving...but hey...he told it like it was...no holds barred. I personally was not offended at all. It was actually a little erotic! Honesty is so rare in today's glossy Hollywood autobigraphies. I commend David for being so candid about his experiences, both good and bad.

Summary: Interesting & Disturbing
Review: Although I enjoyed the book, I have to give it 3 to 3/12 stars.

He said it wouldn't be a "kiss & tell", well that's what it was in a nutshell.

He goes on and on in explicit detail of his sexual escapades which at times was disturbing and disgusting.

The back of the book claims you learn about famous people he knew like, John Lennon (he mentions them in 2 sentances, no detail, same with Paul McCarteny). He says he talked to Elvis, that was it and although it says on the back cover, The Beach Boys, they are never mentioned. Farrah Faucett and Jaclyn Smith are mentioned once as walk ons. The stormy relationships with Susan Dey (1/2 a chapter about her and various things her and there) and Meredith Baxter (a few sentances summed it up). He talks mostly about sex, drugs and how he hated his life, what his father did to him, but hardly ever praises his mother.

Although he says he's put it all behind him, it doesn't appear that way at all. He doesn't seem at all upset about having sex with what appears to be hundreds of woman or what he "allowed them to do to him".

A less detailed account of his "esapades" would have been fine and his bragging about it and the size of his "unit" would have made it much more enjoyable and less well, disgusting.

I would have liked to learn more of his climb back up from after the Partridge Family than the whole 2 maybe 3 chapters in which he mentions it, his new family or his past wives, each of which got about a paragraph of mention.

In all, a decent book to read once if you a David Cassidy fan of any age, but he could have toned it down a little bit.

PS
This book is really for ADULTS only. He talks mostly of sex, drugs and finds it necessary to use the "F" word in almost every sentance (that I could have done without also).

Hope this review helps you.

Summary: Painfully Honest or painful to read
Review: I really dont quite know what to make of this book. I had a hard time obtaining it but finally got my hand on a copy a few months after I saw the TV movie. I have been a loyal David Cassidy fan for thirty years now and I personally think the book contained more information than we needed to know. Some may look at it as an emotionally charged story, and others may see it as a sounding board diplicting David as the male slut he admitted to being and a humiliating look back on his past (he claims he was the one being used as a sex toy) but that didnt stop him from boinking every woman every chance he had. Not to mention critisizing his roadies for dipping into the thousands of many groupies who managed to have there legs spread at the right time. ... ... I still adore David and will try to keep the David I once knew alive in my mind and try to forget what he has willing portrayed himself in the book even if it is the truth. "David you didnt have to brag so much, trash so much and give us all the sleezy details. I would have sooner read a story about a man who made mistakes and came back a winner. To scandalize it was really unnessary. And as for the 'monster'....a pictures worth a thousand words!" :) Still a loyal fan! Sunni
