Eric Roberts Runaway Train Or The Story Of My Life So Far Book Review

Eric Roberts may bet the busiest actor on Earth.

He is constantly working and I mean that.

Movies (Runaway Train, King Of The Gypsies, Star 80, Best Of The Best 1 and 2, The Specialist The Dark Knight, The Expendables and soooo much more), TV (In Cold Blood, Less Than Perfect. Heroes, Suits, Grey’s Anatomy, and soooo much more), music videos (appearing in videos by The Killers, Mariah Carey, Rhianna, and more) reality shows (Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, Dancing With The Stars), everything.

He’s even an author now.

Eric released his autobiography, “Runaway Train Or The Story Of My Life So Far”, written w/Sam Kashner, on September 27 of 2024.

In the book, Eric talks about many things.

His childhood, his relationships with his family (particularly his father and sisters, including his other famous younger sister Julia), starting acting as a kid and moving to NY to continue acting, many projects he’s done and his thoughts on them, his battles with substances, marriages (And how cats caused the end of one marriage.  Read the book and you’ll understand.), stories about people he has worked with and learned from, an example of a week schedule in his life, and so much more.

Sorry that was a lot, but there is a lot in this book.

I really like Eric Roberts.  He, like everyone is not perfect and he admits that, but I like him.  I think he’s cool.

If you are a fan or just want to read a quick, but detailed book about a great talent and cool person, then read this book.

I hope I can meet Eric someday at a personal appearance because he does those too.

If you ever read this sir, just know I have all the respect in the world for you and I wish you well always.

Oh and when bought this book at a book store, it was already signed by Eric!!  Thank you sir!!

The Ardent Fan
