When I saw this book as an upcoming release a few months ago, I was intrigued and threw it in my Amazon wishlist, so I could purchase it later. A few days ago, I saw it was on Netgalley, and I requested it and they approved it. I enjoy getting books from them as I get to read and review them before they are officially released.
I only knew of Luke Perry from Beverly Hills 90210, but I never actually watched it. Yeah, I am serious. I was the right age of 14 when it debuted on television, but again, it never appealed to me. I was more into Seinfeld, and that type of sitcom!
Want to know how he got the role of Dylan on 90210? It’s all in book as well as his roles in Oz and Riverdale.
What I thought was interesting, was after most of the chapters, the author, Margaret Waller, talks about herself in third person about her experiences as she was a fan of 90210.
One thing that was missing from the book and maybe it was intentional, was his personal life (mostly his marriages and kids).
I enjoyed the book, and didn’t realize how down to earth Luke Perry was, how he never got into trouble, and was a very helpful confidant to other actors and his close friends.
