 Eddie's Many Sides July 23, 2006
R. McRae (Saugus, CA)
One of the most gifted actors around, and always a bit unstable. Covering the gamit from childhood, to his biggest public scandal, everytime we think Eddie is finally "in a really good place" as he was quoted in 1996 by the author, his life seems to shipwreck again. Apparently Eddie still has some "skeletons in the closet." A possible cause for the breakup of his seemingly happy marriage and family life, well after the release of this book. The incident in West Hollywood's redlight district, on the morning of May 2, 1997 just won't go away. And after seeing recent photographs of Eddie with another well known male celebrity, causes one to question whether Eddie actually favors a certain lifestyle. Mr. Sanello's book obviously opened some doors Mr. Murphy certainly would have rather left closed. Hopeully all goes well in Mr. Murphy's life, but with Eddie, one never really knows the true story.

this book was fantastic and very informative,it goes behind the man we all know and into his life and his desire to be financially free and have a family to live with,it has funny moments also and misquoted jokes but all in all are great read.
 This Book is a waste of time. Juvenile. March 29, 1999

This book was entirely a waste of time. Sanello's account of Murphy was shallow to uninteresting. Sanello even mis-quoted jokes at times. The book was empty, and barely had enough fresh information on Murphy to fill a magazine article.The author also failed to effectively use metephores to illustrate his point. Rather, his analogies were clumsy and unremarkable. Save yourself some time and rent Murphy's movie Boomerang instead.
I told the real truth about those so called demons C. W. September 5, 1998
