 Rating:  - Wrong title for this bookThis book is a total dissappointment. It should have been titled "Aissa the daughter of John Wayne" as it is more about her than her father. Rating:  - A must read for any John Wayne fan.This book gives a very frank and personal view of John Wayne as a father and regular guy. I found it very moving at times and it brought Duke into perspective as a human being and not just the giant Hollywood icon. Like many others, I admired him from the time I saw my first John Wayne movie and I still watch them today. I had one opportunity to meet him which I regret did not work out. I'm glad Aissa Wayne shared her memories with us. Rating: - DisappointedAissa Wayne (the author of this book and daughter of John Wanye)wines and complains thoughout the whole book. Making this very disappointing if you were hoping to read some good stories of John Wayne behind the camera. Rating: - Her Father Would Be Proud....I am close to the same age as Aissa and from the time I was 10, while other pre-teen girls were obsessing over Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy, I was crazy about John Wayne -50 years my senior.

Much is revealed about his first two marriages. The view through the eyes of a small child is different indeed. You will see a side of John Wayne that was never publicized. It's a good read that's getting better everyday.
