This quote by Theodore Roosevelt; “Man In The Arena” I had never heard. Physically seeing the speech in this memoir really impacted me that it is better to try than to just sit around. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, what matters is that you fell and you keep getting up.

Reading about his role for Hannibal Lecter and how he created the character based off Dracula and his Teacher from RADA was very interesting. I enjoyed that movie, one of my all time favorite actors for sure

At first I was a bit confused how the book started and as I started to read more, I said OMG!!! This is fantastic. As you read along you start to piece together parts to the movie and why it was made the way it was. I am enjoying this book so far and don’t want to put it down. Let the Adventure Begin.

This book is great. I actually feel a little of what he went through after Anthony went sober and the regrets he had. I really liked one of the lines in page 206; “And they feel that your choices are a silent judgement of theirs.” This line speaks volumes when you decide to make changes and people judge because misery loves company.
