That does speak huge volumes, particularly in a biography.

But either he isn't very close to his friends or the title isn't a perfect fit for the book since he very clearly doesn't reveal much about his current life, other than that he is very happy with his family, whose privacy I assume he is protecting.<br /><br />Which is good and admirable, but protecting your privacy and writing an autobiography are a bit contradictory goals. I'm glad to hear he was good at West Wing -- he was proud of his work there but felt unappreciated and underpaid.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005286623073064886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744293504134940560.post-57088064251493186782012-01-11T07:29:33.888-08:002012-01-11T07:29:33.888-08:00Beth, I found it interesting that you were drawn t...Beth, I found it interesting that you were drawn to read Rob Lowe's book, when you weren't familiar with him as an actor. He was quite wild when he was young. I've watched his career because he is from Dayton, OH (actually Oakwood, a suburb). His father was a top malpractice attorney. Martin Sheen, from West Wing, also is from Dayton and very active in the community. Don't know if I'd read his book. There were a number of very dumb things he did in his young career that really marked him for a while -- especially the sex tapes. But, I alway liked him. And, I thought he spent a lot of years redeeming himself. He was very good on West Wing. I hope he is happy now. He has a lovely family.Patricia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10673204828383998897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744293504134940560.post-90191597465180231912012-01-11T07:08:15.967-08:002012-01-11T07:08:15.967-08:00The book sounds interesting but not riveting.I'...The book sounds interesting but not riveting.I've seen this book on the shelf and wondered. Sounds like it might be better to find at the library rather than the book store. Thanks for the review.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235537102211708600noreply@blogger.com
