Summary: Shattered Love moving Toward Love
Comment: Richard Chamberlain tells in this book of his poignant struggles of growing up in an alcoholic home, dealing with fame (and when it deals with him), as well as his spiritual search to live an authentic and truthful life.
Many, I imagine will pick up this book with an eye for sensationalism and gossip over the revelation of his sexual preference. Yet they will be sorely disappointed that there is neither sensational and illicit tales, nor gossip to titillate. No, what the reader will find here is a book about a very thoughtful and spiritual man, who happened to act for a living, trying to navigate his way toward love and finding his true and openhearted self.
Though, given the sometimes glossed over and fast-forwarded events in his life that take place in the book, one can't help but wonder if there is another book in the offing or if much was edited out of this one. Yet the spiritual and philosophical ponderings were delightful to read and filled the heart. I am glad that Mr. Chamberlain wrote it and allowed himself to be so vulnerable and open.
On a personal note, I applaud Mr. Chamberlain's courage to write the truths revealed in the book but also wish to add that it makes no difference to me one way or another and it shouldn't to anyone who reads this book. He simply is what he is and approval is not required when reading. Acceptance however, is a bridge to understanding.
You could learn a lot about not only Richard Chamberlain in this book, but yourself as well.
Cheers to the years together, Martin and Richard!

Summary: A Beautiful Book
Comment: Richard Chamberlain's "Shattered Love" is one of the finest, most tastefully written autobiographies I have ever read. Richard Chamberlain has always been a favorite actor of mine. Watching him on TV in all those swashbuckling films as well as dramas such as "The Thorn Birds," he served as an artistic inspiration to me when I was younger. This book did so much more than tell me about the life of one of my favorite actors, but really made me think about how to deal with life and how to find beauty in people and in all things. What Richard Chamberlain has learned over the years can serve as a great lesson and really open one's eyes. His is a touching story, is interesting from cover to cover, and extremely well written. I highly recommend it to any reader.

Summary: The Healing Process
Comment: I thought this book was great. I just sat there after I finished it and did a lot of thinking. He has a lot to say about his family and I felt like taking a particular chapter about his father and mailing it to several members of my own family.
