The tone definitely captures the Don Diamont of intereviews and the vibe he brings to his television characters, it’s heavy on testosterone, the main focus here is on his relationships with his father, brother, and sons, with far less time spent delving into his mom and sisters.

It’s interesting and sometimes even emotional to read about those male bonds (less so about his sons’ athletic exploits which occupies a little too much space), though as usual with a celebrity memoir I found myself wishing this had detailed more of his work life. I’m not looking for dirt on co-stars or anything gossipy like that, I just would have loved to read more about the process of working on a soap opera, what a full day on the set involves, those massive weddings and location shoots in the eighties, what he thought about various storylines, etc.. There’s a little of that discussing the Y&R storyline where Brad Carlton’s Jewish heritage is revealed and what ideas Diamont brought to his always entertaining B&B character, Bill, I enjoyed reading those bits there just wasn’t enough of them for my liking.

If, unlike me, you’re picking this one up primarily for the personal stuff rather than for his work, this will likely be a pretty satisfying read, Don Diamont’s led a fairly sudsy life off-camera, he’s unapologetic and willing to share things about his love life and his family that not everyone would be that open about, written in a conversational easy-to-read style.

I really like this book. I received this book through Goodreads in exchange for a honest review. It is a quick read written as if you and Don are having a conversation. Sort of like catching up with a old friend. He talks about the lessons he taught his sons and the lessons they have taught him
