Summary: Please
Review: Why is it that has been actors feel the need to write a book that nobody will want? After reading this book, I have determined that my thoughts about what an egomaniac this guy is does not go without merit. Page after page of "I" "Me" and "I am" makes you wonder if the guy needs to see a shrink.Now he performs in Las Vegas, which rumour has it will be a short run. This guy needs to pack it up and head to Branson where the rest of the has beens roam. The book details a life that is hardly interesting. "Poor Me," he must say a hundred different ways. Who cares? Most people have to work for $6.00 an hour, and this guy complains that he's too famous. Poor, Davie. He needs a reality check on how real people live, and that's all I got out of this book. Jared.

Summary: Totally enthralling! I couldn't put it down! I still can't!
Review: Well, let me just say that this has been the most informative and exciting reading I have come across in some time! And I read Tom Clancy novels! David's prose and insistance of presenting the truth the way it was, way back in the drugged-out, Gary Coleman-dominated 1970's, is almost like reading Steinbeck. Only David is a much better writer. And those legendary myths we heard about for so long are brought into light and they have passed the test of truth. Did you know David was Don Seigal's first choice to play the lead role in "Dirty Harry"? Seigal thought that David would bring something to the role that Clint Eastwood couldn't: a tough-guy persona. It was unfortunate that eventually David lost out to Clint because David is only 5 feet 2 inches (including heels and highly-styled hair) while Clint stands a muscular 6 feet 4 inches, thus the movie's producers had a hard time taking David seriously as a renegade cop. Plus the fact David had a difficult time holding Dirty Harry's huge .44 Magnum. But this was not a setback to David's career, as he details in the next chapter, when he claims (and in my opinion, proves, once and for all) to be the true author of "The Great Gatsby". Finally we can give credit where credit is due. David tells us the story how he acted as F. Scott Fitzgerald's "ghost writer" during a time when Scott had fallen off the wagon, again. David hid this fact for many, many years, not wanting to embarrass Fitzgerald or his wife, Zelda. David also brings to our attention in chapter 11 (and again in chapters 17, 18, and the index) that he was the first man to perform an artifical heart transplant, in 1968. David was called upon because of his expertise in cardiological surgery and his boyish good looks. Another famous incident explained, finally, is David's on-air brawl on the set of "Match Game" in 1977. David was mad because he was unable to pass the contestant entrance exam. But all in all, we all have our faults, and "Match Game" was an eggheaded, meeting of the rocket scientist minds of a show if there ever was one. It should have been hosted by Alistar Cooke. Well, faults and all, David is a superstar, no doubt about it. Buy this book and be reminded why. And to the unconverted, read this book and see what you have been missing all your empty, soul-less lives.

Summary: A must Read for all David Cassidy fans
Review: I bought this book after seeing his movie. The book was very informative. I'd rate it up there with Up and Down with the Rolling Sotnes and No One Gets Out Of Here Alive(Jim Morrison)

Summary: LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY
Review: I never knew David had such a sense of humor. But I guess he'd have to in order to survive the 70's. I could not stop reading this book once I started and actually finished it in four days. It's definetly one of those books you'll read more than once. Yes, he is very honest about stuff that happened to him during the 70's, but to tell the truth, it makes you love him more. It also made me so happy for him that his life has turned out well! Happy reading!

Summary: Highly Recommended for Seventies Teenyboppers
Review: I grew up reading fictionalized biographies of David in "16", "Tiger Beat", and similiar candy-coated magazines, so this book is a refreshing dose of reality. I'm a longtime fan who got lost along the way, as David says in the introduction, but I'm glad I found him again. Reading his autobiography is like meeting David on the other side of all that early seventies hoopla and having him tell us the truth. It may be disconcerting for some, but I appreciate honesty. For me, "C'mon Get Happy" was part of my growing beyond the pre-teen crush and learning to love, and totally admire, this man today.

Summary: "I think I STILL love you..."
Review: David was clearly writing about me in this book. I'm 44 years old now and was definately among all the screaming fans that saw him in concert! My friends and I were among only 30-40 others that also ran after him at the airport when he arrived...late in 1970. I saw him at the Rio in March and LOVED his new show...came home and began searching for this book. After bidding on this book thru auctions and loosing I thought to check out Amazon and was blown away to see it available for such a reasonable price! I was bidding so high! After finishing this book in one day...I must admit I saw him in a new fresh REAL light. I loved his honesty and couldn't believe he was so open. Its easy seeing why he wrote this book, he hoped it would answer many questions about his past. But all I can say...David you really left me wanting even more! I will watch and wait to see what your next book will be like, just remain open and honest! Your true blue fans STILL love you!

Summary: A new fan of the Partridge Family show
Review: I was not alive when the Partridge Family aired on T.V. in the 1970's, so I had no idea how popular the show was. I also didn't know who David Cassidy was when I was younger, so this book he wrote helped me to get acquainted with him. I thought his life with his father was really sad because Jack was never around to see him. This book also talks about in great detail, the downsides of fame and the problems of being a rock star. It must have been horrible to not have any privacy or being able to come and go as you pleased because of screaming girls. I think the saddest part of this book is when one of his old friends hurt him when he was down. David's book was really honest and it opened my mind to another part of being famous. I'm glad that he is happier now with his life.

Summary: An Honest Story
Review: I really enjoyed this book. This really gave an inside look to what went on in David's life during that time. He was honest and forthright. Something I'm sure his fans appreciate. I'm glad everything worked out well for him in the end. I, like a few of the other reviewers, finished wanting to know more about what David's been up to the last 10 years. Maybe a sequal is in order David!

Summary: May Shatter Some Illusions
Review: Once I started reading I could not stop although if your memories of David are of a sweet faced butter wouldn't melt in your mouth type, this book may shatter some of those illusions. (My friend who read it at the same time was stunned!) However, I admire David's complete honesty in saying the truth of what it really was like to be "an idol" in the seventies and his relationship with Susan Dey (well we did always wonder). I wish he had expanded more on life after he retired from the world of pop in the 70s but the title of the book does suggest his time on "the Partridge Family Bus". It was quite an insight into how lonely life at the top can really be (and not necessarily financially secure). There were quite a few similarities in his story to that of Donny Osmond - fame, adulation and then zip! (Oh how fickle people are)If you were a big David Cassidy fan in the 70s you may be amazed at what he was really like but in reading this book I can only admire his courage for being so honest and it is an interesting (to say the least) book to read.
