Book 128: Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story

Okay, let me start off with saying that I had no idea about what happened between Arnold and Maria until the end of the book and I was crushed.

I starting reading it after Christmas and was completely taken by Arnold and thought he was a really good role model. I understand why my parents questioned my judgement now. I finished it over my February break and was completely torn up about Arnold's betrayal. It cut me deep.

Otherwise, it was a completely enjoyable book. Arnold has lived a really interesting life and I really enjoyed reading about it. It amazes me how driven he was and I feel like if I had half the drive he has I probably wouldn't be blogging about books so unsuccessfully.

I give this book a 8 out of 10. He was my hero, now he's a little too human. I'm still a fan though. It was a really good biography if that's what you like. Don't let the length scare you.
