THE GUTTENBERG BIBLE (Steve Guttenberg) - October 18/12

This affable but almost disastrously overlong autobiography contains a number of interesting stretches, as Guttenberg certainly reveals himself to be a (relatively) humble guy with plenty to say about his experiences in Hollywood. But the book, which feels as long as a Stephen King novel, is simply too much of a good thing, as Guttenberg writes and writes (and writes) about things that simply aren't that interesting. (Even the things that ARE interesting are padded out to an almost unreasonable extent.) This should've been a third of its length. **1/2 out of ****
