Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
For those who grew up with television's Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and Highway to Heaven, Michael Landon was a familiar and beloved figure. News of his inoperable cancer and untimely death rocked the country. Here, his stepdaughter tells his complex story, from an unhappy childhood, through several marriages, to his ultimate triumphs as a father and an actor/writer/director. She is compassionately honest about his shortcomings and continually reemphasizes his positive qualities. Cheryl's gratitude for Landon's love and generosity shine through. He treated her as his own daughter and stood by her while she recuperated from a horrifying car accident. This is as much her story as it is his, and there is an unshakable feeling of both love and sadness beyond its final pages. For circulating libraries.

Was erhofft man sich, wenn man dieses Buch kauft? Etwas mehr über Michael Landon zu erfahren! Michael als Mensch. Abseits von seinen Filmen, wie Unsere kleine Farm oder Ein Engel auf Erden.
Ja, und genau DAS habe ich bekommen. Viele Bilder, von ihm, seiner Frau, Tochter, Familie und und und. Ja, und natürlich viele Geschichten und Andekdoten aus seinem Leben!
Ja, ich bin zufrieden. Mehr als das. Als Fan und Bewunderer dieses einfach supersympathischen und ungewöhnlichen Menschen, einer der Großen neben Chaplin, gehörte dieses Buch einfach zu den anderen Büchern in meiner Bibliothek! Dank an Amazon für die schnelle Lieferung!

No Intimate Portrait of Michael Landon
24. August 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I totally agree with Kandice Esposito's excellent, articulate and objective synthesis of this book. Michael Landon deserves an infintely better biography than this.
Michael's journey through life was not an easy one and he had both his good and less good sides as we all do. But I would like to read a book that compassionately reflects his life's journey from being a survivor of child abuse to one of the most beloved and successful individuals in the history of television.
Cheryl Landon's book seems to me to be the autobiography of a needy individual not yet able to fully resolve her relationship with her late stepfather. The book is poorly written in terms of content and structure and is very poorly illustrated. There are so many wonderful and evocative photos of Michael that could have been used to make this book a collector's item for that aspect alone.
I am so glad that I didn't waste my money on this book and, instead, bought the A&E Michael Landon Biography from Amazon. It is a fascinating, compassionate and respectful video that tells the viewer so much about Michael and it also contains many utterly delightful family photos as well as very interesting comments from his family, friends and colleagues. This video is a fine tribute and one that all of us who hold Michael in affection can enjoy

Disappointing
10. Juli 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I had mixed emotions after reading this book. I felt it was extremely self-serving and biased, both on the part of the writer. I feel that Michael Landon, had he wanted a book written about himself, should have been respected enough to make that decision for himself. This book wallows way too much in the emotions of the writer, often seeming whiny and desperate. It also seems to be a biography of the writer herself, not only about her stepfather. "I promised my dad" -Promised your dad to write a book about elements that were best left private and sacred, or at the very least, should have had his permission to disclose? Promised him to write a book about yourself and your own misgivings? Wow. Way harsh. There were also many subtle and overt negative inferences to Michael Landon's wife Cindy, as well as her relations.
This book seems to be a poor attempt to salve regret. Michael Landon deserved much, much better. I think Michael Landon's memory would have been better served through a more professional, gracious and respectful medium than the spirit in which this book was created. This book does not seem a fitting tribute to such a fine individual, actor, director, writer, husband, father, friend and grandfather. After what we remember about this man? This book is just.... ugh.
(thanks to the reviewer who mentioned me (Kandice- my middle name) in her own review; agree unanimously with your own as well)

Excellent, but you shouldn't stop here.
22. Juli 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a terrific book for any Michael Landon fan who wants to know the more personal side and home life of the man. But if you truly want to know all sides of him, there are other books out there that show a more unbiased look you should read as well. You have to keep in mind that this comes from a grieving daughter who is still bitter over his divorce from her mother. Although there's no doubt that she loved him dearly, being an actual step-daughter, it's obvious that she took her mother's side in the divorce. There are always two sides to any dispute. I'm not saying he did nothing wrong. But she conveniently leaves his side out, not only about the divorce, but about how unfair she makes his will seem. After reading several other books on Michael Landon, the whole picture comes more clearly into view. Over all, I would still strongly recommend this book, but it shouldn't stand alone.
