Review
Of course the big lure ... is Locke's evisceration of Eastwood, with whom she lived for 13 years until they split up in 1989 in spectacularly messy fashion.... Locke is at her best recounting what it's like to live in the bubble of a superstar. -- Entertainment Weekly

I really enjoyed the anecdotes behind her life and climb to early ...
By Thomas Kuo
People want dirt then complain that it "outs" the celebrity. I have no problems with any of Ms. Locke's statements. I really enjoyed the anecdotes behind her life and climb to early stardom. The Eastwood stuff is pretty tame, but still...it is interesting to rewatch the movies they've both done and know a little history behind it.

An unusual, but compelling autobiography
By jjjones
SPOILER ALERT- This review, gives away key parts of the book. In a way, it is more intended for people who have already read the book, to compare how somebody else felt about the material.
This well written biography could easily be called 'Gordon, Clint, and ME'. Its not quite the book I expected, but its certainly engaging reading.
In the 60's, Sondra married her friend Gordon, but due to his homosexuality it was not a sexual relationship. Much of this book is taken up with anecdotes of how Sondra feels Gordon is a mystic on earth who is connected to god. She provides countless anecdotes of what she feels are signs or synchronicities, that Gordon experiences, and at times this can become quite tedious.
Some of the examples she provides seem quite impressive, and sometimes it seems that she and Gordon are looking too hard for any kind of sign. Some of these supposed signs border on the ridiculous, and hysterical, but some of them, like aura's in photographs sound quite interesting.
So much of this book is about Gordon that it could easily be called, "my obsession with Gordon". However, there is no denying that they seem to have a very special and magical life-long relationship, one that would likely make a great screenplay actually. As I read this book, I could totally visualize robert pattinson doing a great job playing the role of Gordon. It truly could be a great movie in the right hands and if it focused on the first 5 or 7 years of their relationship.
theirs is an unusual platonic love story. According to Sondra herself, she has financially supported Gordon for most of his adult life. This seems not only unusual, but a bit irritating at times because, Gordon is apparently extremely talented with all things artistic and creative, and one would think he could use his talents to provide an income for himself. However, she never provides an explanation as to why he doesn't work, except that he seems to be so busy chasing mystical clues that, he doesn't have time for such mundanities.
One part of the book I found irritating, was when Sondra found a lump in her breast. Gordon starts receiving all kinds of signs that everything is going to be okay. But everything didn't turn out okay. she needed to have the breast removed, then a 2nd breast, and then had to undergo radiation to eradicate other cancer than had spread to her body. I felt totally ripped off, perhaps on behalf of Sondra. Gordon's 'special powers' were useless to impede this cancer. Yet she never calls him out on this, unless god's intention was for her to die of cancer, and Gordon somehow worked his magic so that only her breasts were sacrificed.
Her writing was giving the impression that any day, the hospital was going to call her and say,"its the strangest thing, but this lump in your breast turned out to be harmless....normally these things are always cancer!"
If Gordon does have some sort of special connection to god, as mrs.locke believes, then I have to ask the questions, "what is the point of his gift?" "what good is he doing with his gift?" "Is he using it to save peoples lives or to prevent disasters before they happen?" Not according to this book he isn't. Did Gordon get a 'sign' telling him that Sondra shouldn't get involved with eastwood, and shouldn't get her tubes tied? Nope. Nada.
It appears, by mrs.locke's own account, that he has a 'pointless' connection to god, which serves no particular great good. On another odd note, after spending so much time writing about Gordon, she fails to write a closing note about their relationship at the end of the book, or even what Gordon intends to do with his life and/or his 'gift'.
Locke gives a fair account of her relationship with eastwood and I found her account to be quite convincing, particularly as she does a good job describing the love and attraction that initially existed between them, and also some of the nice things eastwood did for her AND Gordon before everything turned so sour.
Unfortunately, though, it seems apparent he was a cad, who treated her quite poorly and maliciously, especially near the end of their relationship and in the tense aftermath with various lawsuits and trickery on his part. I believe her report that he essientially torpedoed the end of her Hollywood career, due to his actions and her attempts to seek justice for herself. She certainly changed my opinion about someone I was a big fan of.
Locke has an unusual and often entertaining ability to produce dialogue between people that occurred decades ago. Perhaps she recorded these conversations in her diary, because surely no one would remember these conversations verbatim. Some of these conversations drag on, such as a conversation she had with her father during an attempt to reconciliate, but generally, they make for great reading as they really capture the moment, such as a certain 3 way conversation between eastwood, locke, and jane brolin.
One odd flaw of this book, is that in one of the last chapters, she mentions she met a doctor named scott, and there was an attraction. a chapter or two later, she tosses out, how they've been happy together for 6 years. It felt odd to have her writing page after page about her friend Gordon, her anguish about eastwood, her sense that her Hollywood female friends did not have her back, that she totally skipped accounting the blossoming of this relationship. Afterall, if you have a mastectomy, and fall in love with one of your doctors....I would think that's a much more interesting story than some of these endless accounts of 'signs' that Gordon saw.
On a sad note, as people had warned her at the time, and which she herself probably realized, by taking on clint eastwood and warner brothers, she seemed to have become a pariah in the Hollywood community. writing a book about these proceedings and dishing the dirt about some of her former Hollywood power-friends, probably didn't help, but her career came to a solid stop after the lawsuits, and this tell-all book.

Doesn't reflect well on either Clint or Sondra
By Drive-In Kid
The book is entertaining on some level, providing a behind the scenes look at the underbelly of Hollywood. Locke paints Clint as pretty much a heartless, stingy, egomaniacal liar and herself as the victim. But an honest reading would also reveal that Locke left herself open to be hurt and had some "issues" as well.
The fact that she was married to an openly gay man (a childhood friend) prior to and during the entire time she was with Clint gives one a clue as to the level of mind we are dealing with. Then we have the detailed accounts of supposedly supernatural events that began to wear on me after awhile. Most of these incidents could be explained away yet they are given enormous significance as if they are some sort of prophecy.
I came away from the book liking Clint somewhat less, and thinking Ms. Locke was a few cards shy of a full deck. I also expected more detailed accounts of the films she and Clint made together, there isn't much about that at all. Hollyweird indeed...
