By combining Franklin’s homiletic pronouncements with Huck’s folksy immediacy of voice, Selleck, along with co-writer Ellis Henican, has created an easygoing, talky American memoir ... Known for his privacy, Selleck has written a what book instead of a why book ... Such coy deflections and elisions try our patience and may leave some of us wondering why he wrote a memoir if he can’t express feelings.
Tom Selleck could have written an interesting memoir, just as he could have had an interesting career ... With a determination that verges on admirable, he refuses to write about anything potentially interesting ... If there exists a reader who has been longing for a book detailing all of Selleck’s early auditions, followed by 150 pages dissecting what feels like every Magnum episode, then happy news: your wait is over. Alas, I fear that reader may only be Selleck himself.
