Summary: Gabriel Byrne a different side
Review: So you like Gabriel Byrne do you? Well this book will make you like him even more! In the begining it takes you to when Gabriel Byrne's mom and brother are getting ready to come home from the hospital. Gabriel's uncle often adds comical relief to many situations in the book. My favorite part of the book was when Gabriel talked about a nun that hit him with a ruler, I found what Gabriel kept saying to be extremly funny. Anyway this book gives you a perspective on one of hollywoods hottest stars from a different point of view. If you're looking for a laugh or just a great book, "Pictures in my head," is it.

Summary: People change - and so does the book
Review: This book started in a very interesting way, but its after-taste reflects the typical Hollywood way: Literature got mixed with the LA emptiness. The first half of the book is very well written, with character and soul. The second half seemed to be written in a rush, in a mere analytical description of facts where the author lost his powerful insights. The style of the final chapters are sort of cautious and maybe too "encrypted".The book is certainly entertaining for people into movie stars' biographies (I am not one of those). It lacks personality for people that are looking for a refined portrait of an interesting lived life.

Summary: Nice, But Lacking
Review: This is a very sweet book, written by a wonderful actor. Sadly, it lacks a few things. Details, for one. It's very good in some places, and then it seems to rush on when you want to know more. And it jumps around like "Pride and Prejudice"...I had a hard time keeping track of where he was in his life. All in all, it's a nice story. However, if you read this and "Angela's Ashes" right tight together, you realize something. You realize that even though you thought at first that Gabriel had it kind of bad growing up, he is almost a spoiled little rich kid, compared to Frank McCourt. Let's see some real life, here!

Summary: An Intimate View
Review: This was a wonderful book, beautifully written by a magnificent actor. The stories and the memories were so real, and honest. I could only have hoped that the book was longer and that Gabriel would have shared more with all of us. Then again, everyone needs to keep some memories their own. Thanks for sharing your touching and humorous look at life.

Summary: Honest, funny and sometimes poignant.
Review: When I first found this book,I already admired Gabriel Byrne as an actor so talented that he truly becomes the characters he plays (a rarity in Hollywood, now or at any time). I was amazed to find that he is equally talented as a writer. But greater than any of this, his honesty, sense of humor and appreciation of the people around him make a rare man, one that it would be a privilege and a joy to know. I hope he plans to write more.
