I was a big fan of Errol Flynn growing up. Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, and of course, Robin Hood. I had heard some about his hedonistic lifestyle and the statutory rape trial. I knew very little else about him. Reading this book he lived an extraordinary life. Not saying good or bad but definitely extraordinary. From his exploits in his early life in the jungles to his silver screen heyday it is an incredible story told in writing as if he was sitting next to you with a drink talking. I came away liking him less than I did before reading the book but a very enjoyable read. Just like today, those people you see on the screen are definitely not whom you think they are. Definitely!

The book is written by Mr. Flynn so you’re getting his perception of the events in his life. Gives a good picture of his life according to him.

If you are a fan of Errol Flynn then you will probably enjoy this book. Having already read a couple of biographies written by other people this book does come across as somewhat of a whitewash, but of course it is expected that an autobiography will usually cast the subject in a better light. Flynn certainly does not attempt to make himself appear as a saint by any means, but he does paint a portrait of himself as a charming rogue. Does get a bit long winded in parts but overall well worth reading.
What an incredible life and read! Highly recommend this book!!!
