Total Recall

July 12, 2014
Right this book I guess has stirred up some heated conversations in the past- yes its taken from the film which in turn has been taken from the Philip K Dick story, which at each step has changed how the story went and altered it from the story before. I guess looking at the Anthony book compared to the PK Dick story (which in fairness was a short story we can remember it wholesale) does show its changes but - and I guess this where I stand up, I enjoyed the film.
So the book - which I should state now is from the first version of the film and not the recent one with Colin Farrell - really follows the events in the films but for me - and this is why I enjoyed the book - it explains more about what is going, about the stars going supernova and the reason why the machine is so critically important not for those directly involved but for everyone. I will not give the book away even though I think in science fiction circles the film storyline is pretty well know - simply because I hope those who go on to read it will enjoy it as much as I do.

    Impressions

    This book is incredibly vulnerable, Arnold exposes information that I wouldn't share. iI you are wondering, yes he does talk about his affair with the family maid and the illegitimate child that subsequently triggered his divorce.

    "Reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad ones"* This is a good book, I have read only a few celebrity books, generally it's a genre I avoid. "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story" was recommended by a dear friend of mine. I have read too many books from celebrities who have lived a life not worthy of writing down, not because their lives are not interesting, but because their lives are very linear, Arnold's story is far from linear. You can't help but enjoy this story.

    I love it every time Arnold uses "fuck", I don't think I have read a book with so many fucks, and each one is joyous.

    The book is littered with famous name drops and humorous anecdotes that will reveal his age. Despite how long ago many of these events happened each story is told with vivid details.

    Maria sounds like an amazing wife, I enjoyed how they handled their political differences and the countless stories of how supportive she was and is.

    You can't help but reflect on the American dream while reading this book. I think many reviews of this book will point out Arnold's drive, focus and fondness for hard work, as it's a common theme to hi
