A breathless spin through a quite literally unbelievable life, Mr Internet TV: The Ego and the ld by John Bentley is a raucous tale of ambition, hedonism, and evolution.Benefitting from the laurels of a silver-spoon upbringing, the author details his astronomic rise in the business world thanks to his prophetic ability with media and technology, and manipulating the allure of From childhood recollections of wartime Brighton and a sky-high social circle to erotic Hollywood rendezvous and scaling the mountain of a filmmaking empire, this sprawling memoir transports readers into the rarefied air of life at the top. Bentley is an unapologetic polymath and skirt-chasing storyteller, but this feast of name-dropping and jaw-dropping recollections is worth the price of admission. Each of these meticulously detailed stories is flavored with Bentley's rough-hewn voice and wry, shoulder-shrugging wit, one firmly rooted in an era more concerned with attitude and results than feelings and methods. While some of his anecdotes can be overly explicit or unapologetically blunt, he makes it clear early on that his intention is to document a remarkable story, not appeal to a sensitive audience. At times, the level Of procedural detail slows the overall pace, without adding much texture to the prose, but many of his stories are so astounding that it transcends issues with the process. Embodying the advice he once received from a Harvard professor, "Blow your own trumpet. Nobody else will, " this larger-than-life story is a sometimes crude but always fascinating memoir that unveils the inherent bravado of success in show business. The Self Publishing Review
