Summary: Holy Moly, Somebody Put His Bat Back In The Cave!
Comment: After reading the first few pages of this book, it seemed like it was going to be an inspirational story of Burt Ward's struggle to success in one of the most beloved TV comedies of all time. Instead, I was brought into a somewhat funny (if not exaggerated) tell-all. At times it was charming, funny, and clever (for example, the stories about his first wife, apperances at schools, and one heck of a chapter on Julie Newmar) ...but in other moments it would go into sleazy, trashy, and VERY over-exaggerated nonsense (referring to yourself as a mock 'Super Stud Porn King' leaves a bad taste in anyones mouth).
Buy it if you are a die hard Batman fan, or if you didn't grow up on the show...but if your only memories are of good natured fun on a clever TV show...read Adam West's "Back To The Batcave".

Summary: Just what you'd think it would be...
Comment: This book is exactly what you'd think it is...
Burt Ward, who played Robin in the 60's tv series, writes his book the way someone who has never read a smutty tell-all might write a smutty tell-all. I LOVED IT!
Not only do we get a glimpse of the working conditions on the set, we get inside knowledge of his relationship with fellow co-star Adam West, who was "less than a gentlemen" in all ways. Particularly cheesy is the endless recountings of woman after woman Ward seduced, in every way possible--a habit he blames Adam West for starting!
The only things that killed my enjoyment a bit are the repetitiousness of the sexcapades (the first, say, 20 stories are enough...) and the lack of more insights into the special guest villans (who wouldn't want to know more about Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith or Vincent Price!)
Perhaps the most frightening part of the book is Ward's claim he might make a sequel--and include all his sexual antics! HOLY OVERKILL!

Summary: Great! shows the behind-the-scenes Hollywood everyone wants
Comment: I must disagree with Miss Taylors review. I think she missed the whole point of the book. This was an entertaining book about a young Hollywood TV star who was one of the main draws for the classic Batman and Robin series.
I found the book to be very honest and pretty well written as tell alls go. Lets face it: Adam West could have lost a few pounds. He seemed to be seriously testing his Bat Belt. On the other hand, Burt Ward was the young, virile hunk who no doubt caught the eye of many a teenager.If there were "sex-capades" behind the scenes, why not write about them? He would have been dishonest NOT to include such details. Also, if he had problems with West or West's acting, he would have been wrong to leave that out, as well.
The fact is: Burt Ward was a star, if not thee star of a cute, entertaining children's show. He was younger and I believe more young people connected with him. He wrote a pretty decent, honest portrayal of his Batman days and he should be applauded for not white washing anything. Any classic Batman and Robin fan should read this book. I think most will enjoy the book and laugh out loud as often as I did
