I always thought that Arnold was an interesting person, and the book proved to be as interesting. The "slow-paced" tag is definitely apt. I feel that he jumps around from chapter to chapter, and even within a single chapter. He will tell one story or tangent for a paragraph or page, and then jump to the next, and even years. For example, he will tell a story about a movie from 1994, and then two paragraphs later, go back to a conversation he had with someone in 1989. It's not hard to follow but I felt a little frustrated with some of the jumping around.

The stories were fascinating and very insightful. The book still gets five stars for the content. I loved learning more about Arnold and his fascinating life. The issues that I have with this book are negligible and I can attribute to this being an autobiography by an actor whose first language is not English.
