Summary: SHOULD BE TITLED- burt AND ME!!!!!
Comment: Terribly boring!!! I wanted to finally read a book about Burt that would share more about the man behind the image. Instead I found out more about the author. The author spent entirely too much time on sharing her feelings and what she did and how terribly important she was. Don't waste your time. If you want to read a good book about Burt, read his autobiography!

Summary: Former Employees
Comment: Typical "former employee" fare which leaves huge holes in the dragging story for obvious reasons and falls deeply into the "it's all about me" trap. Reynolds' own bio was more entertaining and more forthright.

Rating: 5
Summary: Terrific, excellent, entertaining and great book!!
Comment: A revealing, intelligent and entertaining book: Elaine Blake Hall was Reynolds'secretary for plenty of time, but what really counts here is the fact that, besides secretary, she was a mother and a best friend for Burt Reynolds. With an agile and simple narrative, Burt and Me is an excellent book and a great way to know more about this terrific celebrity: his problems with drugs, his turbulent divorce, his family, the friends who never abandoned him in the bad times (like Tammy Winette, Jon Voight, Martin Sheen, Ned Beatty, Ann Margret and Dinah Shore. The chapter about Shore is particularly touching and thrilling) and his films (like the shooting of Cop and a Half, a movie that had many troubles and set backs). The author demonstrates capacity and intelligence in condensing all her experience in this book, and she reveals to be a special, dedicated and kind-hearted woman, demonstrating that she cared (and still cares) for Burt Reynolds, not because he is a movie star, but because she knows that inside of him, there is a sad, unsecure, but kind child. Burt and Me tells the trajectory of Reynolds, but, parallelly, it traces a small biography for Elaine, a simple woman who faced great challenges...and came out triumphant! buy this book, you won't be sorry!
