Story
Oliver Reed may not have been Britain's biggest film star - for a period in the early 70s he came within a hairsbreadth of replacing Sean Connery as James Bond - but he is an august member of that small band of people, like George Best and Eric Morecambe, who transcended their chosen medium, became too big for it even, and grew into cultural icons. For the first time Reed's close family has agreed to collaborate on a project about the man himself.

Story
Sally Field has an infectious charm that has captivated audiences for more than five decades, beginning with her first television role at the age of 17. From Gidget’s sweet-faced ‘girl next door' to the dazzling complexity of Sybil to the Academy Award-winning ferocity and depth of her role in Norma Rae and Mary Todd Lincoln, Field has stunned audiences time and time again with her artistic range and emotional acuity. Yet there is one character who always remained hidden: the shy and anxious little girl within.

Story
Roger Daltrey is the voice of a generation. That generation was the first to rebel, to step out of the shadows of the Second World War...to invent the concept of the teenager. This is his story, from his birth at the height of the Blitz through tempestuous school days to his expulsion, age 15, for a crime he did not commit (though he was guilty of many other misdemeanours he'd got away with). Thanks to Mr Kibblewhite, his draconian headmaster, it could all have ended there. The life of a factory worker beckoned. But then came rock and roll....

There's only one book that ever truly got inside the Beatles, and this is it. During 1967 and 1968, Hunter Davies spent 18 months with the Beatles at the peak of their powers as they defined a generation and rewrote popular music. As their only-ever authorised biographer, he had unparalleled access - not just to John, Paul, George, and Ringo, but to friends, family, and colleagues. He collected a wealth of intimate and revealing material that makes this the classic Beatles book - the one all other biographers look to.

Peter Reid is one of the most colourful characters to emerge from England over the last 50 years. As a player, he established himself as one of the leading midfielders of his era, being named PFA Player of the Year in 1985 and credited as the fourth best footballer in the world. He won numerous honours with Everton, including two league titles, one FA Cup and one European Cup Winners’ Cup. He also won 13 England caps, playing at the 1986 World Cup – where a date with destiny at the ‘hand’ of Diego Maradona would provide a lasting, painful memory.

I liked this book
It's true that Mr Reynolds has a quiet slightly raspy voice but Its not an unpleasant voice, after ten minutes or so I got used to it and it did get stronger as the book progressed. There is an honesty about Burt Reynolds that wouldn't have come across if it had been read by someone else. He talks a lot about the people/actors he knows. It's made me want to go and watch his films again through new eyes !

Brilliant book
I really liked enjoyed this book and with Burt Reynolds reading it made it really special. Burt Reynolds voice carried real emotion when he went through periods in his life which were sensitive. I am so glad that this book was not read by someone else because it would have taken a lot from it. You need to be aware that his voice sometimes is quite low but once you get used to it, it adds so much to this book.

Should've used a narrator...
Burt Reynolds and his peers arrived on the scene at a very interesting time for the motion picture industry; The established stars of the 40s & 50s were feeling their popularity wane as a new stable of faces began taking all the parts and, as a result, put their mark on a whole new era of films. And Burt was right there; friends with Spencer Tracey and Bette Davis and also colleagues with Jon Voight and Paul Newman. This book promised to be an interesting read.
But why oh why did they let Burt read it himself? Please understand there's nothing wrong with his voice and the man can tell a good story. But how do I put this politely; you can tell the recordings they did in the morning (where his voice is bright and animated) against those done "after lunch", where Burt sadly slurs and mumbles his way through the text, sometimes almost incoherently.
The recording is also very lazy, with lots of mistakes and generally poor sound quality, and you're left with the impression that there was a "That'll Do" attitude towards the whole project.
Shame really, because some of the stories Burt tells are interesting, entertaining and a fascinating glimpse into the movie industry of the early 1970s. It just needs to be re-recorded...

Really enjoyable
A very honest and heartwarming audiobook. Fascinating insights into a legendary actor. It made me laugh quite a few times and emotional in parts too. Growing up watching Burt on screen as a kid it was really interesting to get to know the real person through this audiobook. And to see that despite his tough-guy image Burt is a genuinely caring and intelligent individual. A highly recommended listen.

Poor narration
I wanted to love this and Burt has some great stories to tell but the whole thing is marred by abysmal narration.
Maybe I'm just spoiled by some amazing narrators I've listened to in recent times but Burt Reynolds alternates between inarticulate to almost sounding drunk for most of this book, some chapters are better than others but overall very difficult to listen to.
