This is one hell of a story to read because Arnold has lived such a full life. This story starts with him as a young man in Austria and wraps up with his life as a successful bodybuilder, businessman, actor, and politician. However he is more than these titles. He is a symbol of the American dream, of change that promotes the greater good, and of persistence that leads to prosperity. This man has done it all and he doesn’t apologize for who he is. He found a way to use his weaknesses as strengths. Despite his affair, his character is still something to be admired. He is one of the most charismatic people to ever grace America with his presence. Arnold has always been somebody for me to look up to. I admire his dedication to his goals. No matter what you think of his politics or his values, he is still someone who deserves recognition for his many feats. This book was extremely long, but I guess that much living cannot be condensed and do the story justice. I would recommend this to any of his fans.
