Resumen del Editor
Joe Eszterhas and Mel Gibson had a global confrontation in April of this year over their movie The Maccabees. Heaven and Mel is Eszterhas' explosive, unabridged, no-holds-barred account. It is a Hollywood story, but it's not. It is the story of love and hatred, of anti-Semitism and fathers and sons, and of a movie star's tragic sexual obsession. It is the story of God and the Devil, devastating but often hilarious. It is Joe Eszterhas at his best: two-fisted, movingly sensitive, always outrageous.

Historia
After 68-year-old David Granger crashes his BMW, medical tests reveal a brain tumor that he readily attributes to his wartime Agent Orange exposure. He wakes up from surgery repeating a name no one in his civilian life has ever heard - that of a Native American soldier whom he was once ordered to discipline. David decides to return something precious he long ago stole from the man he now calls Clayton Fire Bear.

Historia
Easy For You To Say is "Stuttering" John Melendez's memoir of his childhood being bullied in school for his stutter; his years as an on-air personality with The Howard Stern Show; and his subsequent 10-year career as a writer and on-air announcer for Jay Leno's Tonight Show. It details his famously acerbic relationships with celebrities he interviewed/insulted (Raquel Welch once punched him in the face). In the audiobook, Howard Stern emerges as a surprisingly mean, stingy, and megalomaniacal boss - and Jay Leno as a seeming sufferer from OCD.

Historia
By the time he was 19, Frank Schaeffer’s parents had achieved global fame as best-selling evangelical authors and speakers, and Frank had joined his father on the evangelical circuit. He would go on to speak before thousands and publish his own best seller. But while coming of age as a rising evangelical star, Schaeffer felt increasingly alienated, and as a result, he experienced a crisis of faith that would ultimately lead to his journey out of the fold - even if it meant losing everything.

Historia
When Edward M. Hallowell was 11, a voice out of nowhere told him he should become a psychiatrist. A mental health professional of the time would have called this psychosis. But young Edward (Ned) took it in stride, despite not quite knowing what "psychiatrist" meant. With a psychotic father, an alcoholic mother, an abusive stepfather, and two so-called learning disabilities of his own, Ned was accustomed to unpredictable behaviour from those around him and to a mind he felt he couldn't always control.

And then there are the legions of fans who can't get enough of his scatological, out-of-his-mind stand-up routines, comedy specials, and outrageously profane performances in such shows as HBO's Entourage and the hit documentary The Aristocrats.

This wickedly candid memoir that Ava Gardner dared not publish during her lifetime offers a revealing self-portrait of the film legend's life and loves in Hollywood's golden age. Ava Gardner was one of Hollywood's great stars during the 1940s and '50s, an Oscar-nominated leading lady who co-starred with Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster, and Humphrey Bogart, among others. But this riveting account of her storied life and career had to wait for publication until after her death, so concerned was Gardner with its frankness.

Historia
In 1969, Illeana Douglas' parents saw the film Easy Rider and were transformed. Taking Dennis Hopper's words - "That's what it's all about, man" - to heart, they abandoned their comfortable upper-middle-class life and gave Illeana a childhood filled with hippies, goats, free spirits, and free love. Illeana writes, "Since it was all out of my control, I began to think of my life as a movie, with a Dennis Hopper-like father at the center of it." I Blame Dennis Hopper is a rollicking, funny, at times tender exploration of the way movies can change our lives.

Joe and a Shmoe
This book reveals nothing about Mel Gibson that we already don't know except for the fact he is way more cunning than I would of imagined, Eszterhas on the other hand comes off like a religious bumpkin (who of course became deeply religious after years of drug and alcohol abuse), seems so naïve that is hard to believe he wrote Basic Instinct when he seems to have none.
Gibson who is portrayed by Eszterhas as a dangerous madman hell bent on killing his ex, played Eszterhas like a fiddle and Joe is obviously bitter about it and wrote this book to put Mel in a bad light but unwittingly did the same to himself.
Mel Gibson is a giant jerk who has risen to the top in a world full of giant jerks, what else is new! , I watch movies to be entertained, if I stopped watching movies because the people making them were unscrupulous there would be nothing to watch!

Sounds like a has-been looking for a hand-out
Coming from one of the most deplorable and rumor-ridden screenwriters in Hollywood history, or should I say lore, this nonsensical book is more like a complaint from an angry former employee than a bipartisan addressing of one man's questionable relationship with the monster that is the world of Hollywood.
Just because Joe found Jesus doesn't mean the rest of the world did too, clearly Mel didn't. If Joe was willing to put his transgressions aside to work with Mel at the beginning... Sorry, but money talks doesn't it Joe.
This was a waste of 4 hours of my eardrums shelf life. Im sorry eardrums, I'll make it up to you later.

Mad Mel
In his detailed narrative, Esterhas is almost like a guest at dinner who is so upset over an event that he has just witnessed that he has to unburden himself with a story that he knows needs to be told. The nature of an audio book makes that an especially personal, worthwhile experience for the listener.
“Heaven and Mel” is the articulate and convincing narrative of the disturbing story of a Hollywood superstar with almost psychotic mental issues, which manifest themselves through profane-laden, bigoted, seemingly-uncontrollable, outbursts. Gibson’s inner demons are wound so tightly, they explode in fury whenever he loses control. Because of his continual and casual anti-Semitism, racism and ethnocentrism, I believe the intemperate explosions reveal the actual inner workings of a disturbed mind, not mere ramblings that are profane for the very sake of being profane.
I don't agree that the book is simply an anti-Gibson invective/screed by a bitter would-be associate. Esterhas credibly and seemingly-fairly paints an intimate portrait of a man whom he expected to like, but whose inexplicable ravings converted an incipient friendship into revulsion. He provides enough detail, along with his commentary on his feelings throughout their relatively brief association, that his story is more than creditworthy. The explanation is simple – Gibson is a viciously bigoted, self-centered, bad man.
Before listening to the book, it bothered me that Gibson’s despicable behavior attracted so much curiosity to him and his movies that he became even richer than he was before. After listening to the book, however, I was gratified to realize that he can never enjoy the fruits of his fortune because of his raging inner demons.
Hopefully, the last chapter has been written on the life of Mel Gibson. If not, I suspect the end will be violent … likely self-inflicted by Gibson, but, possibly, inflicted on anyone who is unfortunately in his orbit.

Time for Mel to retire
no, I certainly didn't love it. No excuse for that kind of talk to your wife and mother of your child!

A bitter angry man
Eszterhas is a good man who clearly has more integrity than Gibson ever had. Just an angry bitter man whose life is the envy of 99.999% of the planet but still filled with bile.

Eszterhas - quite the hypocrite & coward
Granted Mel comes across as vile . But the book is flat when he’s not featured. Old Joe is very selective about when and where he applies his Christianity . Forgiveness & Chatity not a strong suit. As soon as his project looks to fail Joe Joe gets a big set and writes a letter. His default bravery seemed to be avoid and ignore . The reader makes every woman, teen, child sound nasally and annoying.
