Summary: Twice the book for Tarzan fans
Comment: If any one is a fan of Johnny Weissmuller or even if you are just a fan of his Tarzan movies this is the book to read. There is so much I didn't know about this real American hero that is presented in such an informative and entertaining way. I heard the author is working on a book about Maureen O'sullivan. I'll be first in line for that one. You won't be disapointed in this book. Some great pictures as well.

Rating: 5
Summary: Well Researched
Comment: I was very impressed by the research in this biography of Johnny Weismuller. A lot of time was spent in getting opinions of those who knew and worked with Weismuller throughout his athletic and film career. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in films or in Johnny Weismuller.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great read!
Comment: I've been a "Weissmuller" fan for most of my life,and this book is long overdue.The rare photos are simply great.The book may seem to be slightly over-priced until one examines the quality of the workmanship.The binding and print is first-rate.It covers Johnny's life from his birth in Europe in1904 to his death in 1984.While it doesn't shy away from the multiple marriages,it doesn't delve into salacious gossip.It's obvious the biography was written by a true fan.I especially enjoyed the foreword by Johnny Sheffield.It revealed a lot about the true character of Weissmuller.David Fury is to be complimented for this excellent book! P.S. Johnny Weissmuller was my boyhood idol.He was "head and shoulders" above everyone,in my book.I was most fortunate to meet him,when he came to my hometown,in 1967.I was 13 at the time,and it was quite a thrill to meet him.He was 63,and looked simply great! I still treasure the two autographed pictures he gave me.
