Book Reviews of Don't Hassel the Hoff: The Autobiography

Book Review: Surprisingly Detailed Stories for Hasselhoff TV Fans
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a surprisingly interesting book if you want stories about Hasselhoff's days on Knight Rider and Baywatch. He also goes into detail about his European music career and famous people he has known (Liberace?). It even has an episode guide and list of recordings. There are enough good stories in the book to make it worth reading.

But he fails to adequately address his personal problems. He likes to blame the women in his life for his inability to keep relationships and glosses over his drinking issues. He doesn't do well at self-analysis--why would this guy who says he had an ideal childhood with a loving family (including four sisters) feel so insecure with women and be unable to handle life without using drugs or alcohol?

Another problem is that this was originally published in England and has distracting British spelling and punctuation. Couldn't St. Martin's have sprung for a proofreader for the American edition? It looks like they rushed it to take advantage of his success on America's Got Talent.

He says he dedicates himself to the children of the world and has many examples of going out of the way to help those in need. He has a very positive attitude about his career. But he seems to have his priorities out of line and forgets to take care of his wife and kids at home. This was written in 2006 and now we know that his daughters are trying to straighten him out. There is no indication here of why his is still so childlike and unable to grow up, even though it makes for fun reading.

Summary of Don't Hassel the Hoff: The Autobiography

The Los Angeles Times called him a ?counterculture icon,? and TV Guide dubbed him one of ?TV?s Ten Most Powerful Stars,? but true aficionados simply call him ?The Hoff.? 
 
Don?t Hassel the Hoff follows David Hasselhoff?s phenomenal career, from his earliest childhood role in Peter Pan to his latest adventure, starring in Mel Brooks?s Tony award-winning musical, The Producers.  There is no better time to celebrate Hasselhoff?s life and a career that continues to grow and thrive. As the star of the extremely popular classic television shows, ?Baywatch? and ?Knight Rider,? Hasselhoff is an international mega-star, with platinum album sales and starring roles on Broadway and London?s West End.
 
As this fascinating memoir reveals, there?s more to this handsome superstar than great hair, and legs that look good while running down a beach. "The Hoff" is also a smart, caring man with a huge heart.
 
?This book is my opportunity to print something from my heart, to tell the truth about what happened to me on the long and winding road from Baltimore to Baywatch to Broadway ? and beyond.  And the truth is not to be found in tabloid stories but in my actions: I am a good father and tried to be a good husband.  I love people and the emotional rollercoaster that goes with human relationships. I love all the bewildering, crazy and wonderful things that life has to offer. This book is about my successes and my failures, my strengths and my weaknesses.  And, above all, it is about the hope contained in the Knight Rider slogan: ?One man can make a difference.? --David Hasselhoff
 
Full of behind-the-scenes looks at Hasselhoff?s television series, celebrations of his proudest moments, and the truths about his struggles with relationships and alcohol, Don?t Hassel the Hoff is both highly entertaining and deeply personal, making this an engrossing page-turner from start to finish. 
 
Long live ?The Hoff.?
