Product Description
With his sculpted physique and brooding good looks, Sylvester Stallone remains the quintessential movie star. His love life has drawn as much attention as his $2 billion-grossing films--after a long-suffering first wife and a philandering second, his current spouse is a supermodel 25 years his junior. And between each marriage, he has courted a catwalk's worth of women straight from the covers of Vogue. Now, in this new biography--based on exclusive interviews with Stallone, his outspoken mother, his second wife, and a host of fellow celebrities and friends--this most private of public figures is revealed. Frank Sanello looks not only at Stallone's personal life, which fans will find as compelling as any of his action pictures, but also at his film career, from cartoon icon to failed comic actor to his latest incarnation as overweight anti-hero in the critically acclaimed "Cop Land." A thoughtful, highly engaging portrait. Frank Sanello has written biographies of Sharon Stone, Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, and Steven Spielberg. A former film critic for the Los Angeles Daily News, his work has also appeared in The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and People.

For fans only March 31, 2008
How good could be an unauthorized biography of a living person? Not too great, but it's the only one on the market that deserves to throw an eye on. Something to stand on my library's shelf beside "Sly Moves : My Proven Program to Lose Weight, Build Strength, Gain Will Power, and Live your Dream".
 Really poor excuse for knowledgeable writing . . . May 24, 2005

It would be poor even if it admitted it were fiction. This author clearly does not know Sly Stallone, and set out solely to criticize him at every turn. Very poor use of "quotations" and "friends" . . . totally inaccurate attempt at "biography". Shameful way to make money off the life of a respected actor and person. Don't waste the time . . .
Revealing, but sort of from rather low perspective! November 18, 2004

Seemingly a panorama of the life, the work, and the relationships of the big-time star Sylvester Stallone's till he married the third. Not much praise, lots of criticisms. Quite complete in says sharing. Source of the says is either Hollywood street or streets where Sylvester Stallone is or is made to be seen.
NOT a book for Stallone fans August 27, 2003
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is so full of errors and inconsistancies that I began to doubt everything in it. It made me wonder if the author even knows Sly as a person or understands him in any capacity. It certainly isn't a book for Stallone FANS because it portrays Sly as a bottom feeder and (tries!) to makes the reader think that Sly is a low-life who possesses every negative quality known to mankind. Not only does the author make fun of Sly on practically every page from beginning to end, he also quotes all negatives from "alledged" co-workers, "friends", critics, etc. Most of the "quotes" from Stallone are hearsay, not from actual interviews between Sly and the author. And nowhere in the book will you find that Sly cooperated with or endorsed this "biography". It's a joke and the worst [amount of money] I ever spent on a book. ...

I was very pleased with the book and was fascinated to find out information that I did not know about Sly. However some parts did get boring for instance I did not want to know the relationships in detail of Sly. HOwever some bits were very interesting this included the review on his films and his background.
