This is one of the detailed autobiographies I've ever read. I was amazed about how good of a memory Ted has to write such a big book. The story covers the time period from the 1930s to 2008, which I think any fan of history will appreciate.
As a member of the Y generation, I loved reading about the way he created many of channels I grew up enjoying like Cartoon Network and TNT. He also mentions how some other channels that were created like ESPN and CNBC. It was interesting to read about his near fight with Rupert Murdoch and the creation on Fox News.
My only complaint about the book is I wished he mentioned WCW more. He only mentions professional wrestling once. I'm a wrestling fan and I would've loved reading more about WCW. It was funny the book talks about how the people at his company wanted Ted Turner to wrestle Rupert Murdoch on WCW (World Championship Wrestling). I couldn't help but think Ted should've done that when WCW began losing the Monday Night War to the WWF (World Wrestling Federation).
