Review:
The most interesting parts of the book are those that deal with his impoverished Austrian upbringing in the wake of Germany's defeat in the Second World War, and his discovery of bodybuilding as a ladder to a better world - Mail on Sunday
The Terminator star has just released his autobiography, Total Recall... and the revelations in its pages certainly pack a punch - Hello
Much hyped and much anticipated, the launch of Total Recall... For the first time he will offer his side of the story - Sunday Telegraph
It s the unbelievable yet true story of Arnold Schwarzenegger s life. And he tells it in his own, painfully blunt fashion
'In Total Recall, Schwarzenegger presents the former as the direct result of the latter. His autobiography is a classic reworking of the American dream: dream hard, work hard, aim high, let no one stand in your way.' - The Daily Express
'This surprisingly enjoyable book shows he has a great product to sell. He is the living embodiment of the America Dream: a scrawny Austrian boy who became a body-building champion, conquered Hollywood, married into the Kennedys and ended up as governor of California.' 'Schwarzenegger recounts his story in loving detail over 600 pages, together with a dazzling spread of 243 photographs.' '[This] autobiography shows [Arnie] to be a man of greater substance than the Austrian Oak caricature might suggest.' The Daily Business Post, Andrew Lynch
