When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead: Useful Stories From a Persuasive Man

Author: Jerry Weintraub
Stars: 4
Review by: LateNightReader

The full title of this book is When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead: Useful Stories From a Persuasive Man. I'm not sure how "useful" the stories are, but they sure are interesting! Surprisingly, I had never heard of Jerry Weintraub before. He has worked with such a variety of people over the past 50+ years, many of the stars that I have enjoyed during my life. I enjoyed the stories about Elvis, John Denver, Dorothy Hamill, Bobby Fischer, to name a few. It is interesting how he worked to make his career and theirs happen and he does this in short chapters that flow pretty quickly.
