"I am a contradiction inside a contradiction", he wrote and I think that might hErrol Flynn describes himself as a "tormented" man. Reading it was kind of like having an extended visit from a drunken uncle who has great stories, zero self-awareness, some uncomfortable opinions, and ventures into TMI especially when talking about boobs. He had a lousy & adversarial relationship with his mother which probably explains a lot as far as his behavior toward (& relationships with) women.

Minus one star because he is said to have misremembered some things, conflating false memories with real (like president Reagan). I've never read anyone wallow so gloriously in their own evil--and evil is the only word for it. He was bold and irresistible. Though he didn't claim to be a good father, I think he was the type of man who couldn't abandon them financially, thus strapping him to the Hollywood scene for the rest of his life. I'm thinking of another Lothario, David Niven, who was at least amusing & charHard to know what to say. Plus documentary Perhaps what struck me the most was the extreme contrast between the first half of his life, living in unpretentious, free-spirited, straightforward, poverty stricken, primitive, basic-human-level, wild west culture with Tasmania, Australia and New Guinea....And then fairly quickly being whisked to the most pretentious place on earth, Hollywood, with endless riches, glitz and glamour, inescapable contracts and obligations, contrived images, acceptable lies and liars, the value of money over authentic experience and art. Uncle Errol never learns from his mistakes. Then I read his autobiography...what a horrible human being he was. We have them in America too: delicious to eat, but not delicious to remove. Your soul will be compromised.

Presumably this is an adaptation of Australian actor Errol Flynn's autobiography, "My … All in all, an entertaining read. ""What would you risk for five minutes of pure power?" Then I read his autobiography...what a horrible human being he was. He was a man who, perhaps surprisingly, thought deeply and felt much, but did not always choose a wise course in life. i cannot recommend this book highly enough. His private life was a different matter altogether, and he was involved in a number of scandal-laden Hollywood incidents. He pinches your cheeks and causes a lot of awkward moments. the outrageous-anecdote-to-page ratio runs about 1:1 all the way through. Minus one star because of his narcissism and overall obliviousness to other people's feelings, such as the women he cheated on - one of whom wrote that after her marriage to Errol Flynn, she felt her heart was like a pincushion stuck full of pins. By creating an account, you agree to the My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Autobiography of Errol Flynn: Flynn, Errol - ISBN 9781845130497 Flynn holds nothing back when telling his life story, and doesn't give a damn what you think of him. After that- it becomes a sort of boo-hoo story of depression and desperation in the midst of amazing wealth, prosperity, fame, and sex- which really just pisses me off. From his childhood in Australia, Tazmania, and teens in New Guinea, he astonishes you with all he has gone through to survive.
