Unfortunately unsurprising.
Some stuff seems self-aggrandizing to say the least. Some stuff I don't believe happened. Especially the last quote where a woman says something very movie quote about Jake being like his enemy, driven, workaholic, loyal, but without any of the negative traits. Came off as complete BS....more

Don't play video games, have fun at work, only ever work towards a goal. Rest and restitution is for pussies. Maybe if you have an extremely specific mindset, this book can work for you. Maybe things are different in the US "Be me, with my dreams, in the time in history I was. Also make sure you don't have fun with anything but your vision."
The absolutely best part of the book is that Arnold himself is reading it to you....more

Only about the first third really has *anything* to do with Kowloon Walled City - but is focused on Christian mumbo-jumbo. The author is apparently a truly fanatical Christian, which means all information in the book is unreliable. I doubt the tales of people having done heroin for 14 years, then stopping overnight with *no* withdrawal symptoms. I don't doubt Jackie Pullinger helped a lot of people and that's good, this book however, isn't.
Did not finish: at page 99, after the whole narrative had moved entirely away from Kowloon Walled City, I couldn't take any more....more
"Shatner, do you want to write a history about Leonard Nimoy and your friendship?"
Shatner: "ok, now how can I make this all about ME?"
That guy is such"Shatner, do you want to write a history about Leonard Nimoy and your friendship?"
Shatner: "ok, now how can I make this all about ME?"
That guy is such an egomaniac. This is mostly a book where William Shatner teaches us how to make a book look like it's about one thing, but really it's about another.
Also turns out that whenever Trek ran into a problem and someone had to heroically set their foot down, it was always Shatner. Why we need to be told this in a book about Leonard Nimoy, I don't know.
