I am blown away with the amount of quotes John Wayne had. I am so happy I purchased this book. Every American should read this book, and follow the words for the Duke.
I wasn't sure how it would go over because he's not a big reader but, since it's mostly quotes, it is easy for him to pick up and put down whenever he feels like it. It is amazing how relevent some of his statements still are, especially today. I got this book as a stocking stuffer for my Dad (loves John Wayne movies) this Christmas and he has really enjoyed it. Browsing through this book myself has given me a greater appreciation of John Wayne and the kind of man that he was.
If you are a fan, you must have this book. They really reflect the genuine hero that Wayne was. What else can be said about John Wayne. The quotes in this book are wonderful. If you listen really hard while you enjoy these bits of his wisdom, you can almost hear the magical voice of The Duke.
With all the John Wayne had to say in his movies and real life, this book was somewhat of a disapointment. It has some, but not all inclusvie, and not even some of his best one-liners.
Proof that when you look up American in the dictionary, it says 'see John Wayne'. Great book full of common sense and insight into the man. Why didn't we ever make this man President.
