Summary: An entertaining insight
Review: A pretty good autobiography considering Art Bell is a radio talk show host first and a writer second. Not as good an example of the genre as Howard Stern's Private Parts. If you are an Art Bell fan you will find it to be an entertaining and informative glimpse into the life of one of the top radio talk show hosts of our time.

Summary: A very informative book about the author and his life.
Review: Art Bell and his talk show has kept me glued to the radio many a night.In fact he still does with his unusual subject matter of astral projection,psychic spies,remote viewing and government conspiracy theories.In this book you'll get a chance to meet the exceptionally bright and witty man behind the mike.You'll also get to see pictures of his travels around the world as well as gain a more in depth understanding of Art's personal views on things which he often refrains from discussing on his program in order to let the guest speak his/her case.

Summary: It's like having coffee with Art in his living room.
Review: Art Bell fans everywhere must have this book! Here is a very open book that will develop the overnight listeners' understanding of Art Bell himself as well as his journeys & beliefs. It is, seriously, like spending time with Art himself in a personal setting. Great job!

Summary: Not a great book but...
Review: Art Bell was not a good writer when this book was written. This book reflects this. Lately, having read some of Art Bell's columns in the After Dark Newsletter, his writing has greatly improved. This is the first hurdle you have to jump if you are to enjoy this book. Another hurdle, you have to be a fan of Art Bell. In this book he discusses some of his personal history, but doesn't go into a lot of detail. He also does not give any tips to people interested in talk radio. Personally, I loved it. So, if you're willing to handle substandard writing, lack of depth, and aren't interested in getting into the profession of talk radio, then you will like this book. If you fail to meet these criteria, don't buy this book. If you are interested in conspiracy, UFO's, and weather, by all means buy some of Art's other books, this one does not go into any of that though. This book targets a very small market of people; before you buy, make sure you're in it.

Summary: This book blows
Review: Art Bell, the purveyer of the absurd, has out-done himself this time. This so called autobiography is every bit as sensational as his ridiculous, bizzare radio program which pollutes the airwaves six nights a week. If you are one of the poor souls who believe there are little green men from mars among us, by all means run don't walk to by this book.
Rating:
Summary: Informitive input on the man I want to know best
Review: Art is great at what he does from radio to book writting he knows it all
Rating:
Summary: May appeal ONLY to devoted Art Bell fans
Review: Art talks just about anything and everything in his book. From travel to his view on abortion, politics, economy..etc,etc. Only question is, why the title "The Art of Talk" as most part of his book covers anything but just his talk radio career? Also, Art seems to be boasting himself a lot in his book. So, if you're a DEVOTED Art Bell fan, you *may* like this book. If you'are not, stay away from it.
