Wanting to relive my youth and get the inside scoop I waited and waited for this reprint to finally arrive. I sat up one night and read the whole thing from cover to cover.

This will give you the inside scoop on David Cassidy's life in the 70's and 80's - not even close to what we all read in Tiger Beat!

I thought the book was a quick read, interesting and definately hard to put down. I'd rate it a 4 on a scale of 5. I do "regret" reading it however because my memory of my teen idol will forever be changed and I think it was better left unknown. Cassidy complains alot about royalties, relationship with his Father, studio Exec's etc. Whine, whine, whine - Poor David. While he tells us that he went through years of analysis to "get over" those years, it doesn't come across as if the therapy really helped until the last 5 pages or so and even then you are wondering...

Lot's of sex talk (and I'm not a blusher) that is very crude and present throughout the book - this is a memoir for adults only.

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.

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.
