Review of Hollywood Monster by Robert Englund with Alan Goldsher.

Okie folks, please bare with me as this is my first book review in nearly 15 years. Last time I reviewed anything it was for a small local paper and it was short, sweet and to the point.

I just acquired this book on Friday afternoon, picked it up to give it the once over as I do all new book purchases and that my friend is all it took, I was hooked! A half an hour later (Yes I speed read, lol) I was finished. Nothing pleases me more then the satisfaction of having read a good book but more yet of having made a wonderful investment for my personal library.

I hope this will bring you some insight, and that you will enjoy reading both the review and hopefully the book!

Upon completion of this book I was in tears, not because it was horrible, no. In fact it was the exact opposite. I found it to be hilariously funny, brutally truthful and a wonderful peek into the life and career of one of the most interesting, fantastic actors of our time.

Robert Englund has a presence and magnetism with his extraordinary charisma, witty personality and a devilishly funny sense of humor that shines through on the pages of his book just as it does through the characters that he portrays in his projects. You honestly feel as if he himself is sharing these events in his life with you right there in the moment.

Very well written, the entire book takes you on a journey, never disappoints and always has you anticipating what's on the next page. I promise you this is one of those rare, can't put down till you finish books and you will be happy you read it!

And that concludes my review folks. Hope it has been insightful. Comments are welcome, as are your own personal reviews and/or opinions of the book. But please everyone be nice ;-)

Peace be with you All!
