Summary: Kinetic
Review: Kinski was a bizarre guy...he really seemed to have a mix of wonderully generous qualities, with a lot of (maybe more) absolutely horrendous qualities. (As the review below says, the original version of this book, ALL I NEED IS LOVE, has Kinski hinting that he slept with his own daughter, Nasstasja, which is about as horrendous as you can get. He did sleep with his sister, as he relates in here, so he wasn't a stranger to incest.) It's definitely a unique biography...a lot of explicit sex. A lot. And, like any pornography, it, after the initial shock, wears thin and gets monotonous. The writing is hyperactive and explosive, and is definitely a result of Kinski's worship of Dostoevsky, the most hyperactive writer of them all. (Kinski named Nasstasja after a character in Dostoevsky's novel THE IDIOT, and was involved with trying to get a stage version of CRIME AND PUNISHMENT in production). He's no Dostoevsky, but Kinski's book does keep your attention a lot of the time.

Summary: Read it if you dont believe
Review: Klaus Kinski one of the world's and Germans greatest actor of all time, his sexual drives, pain of life, sorrow his obssession about his wife and kid..... everything is greatly narrated in his Autobiography "Kinski Uncut." First, when I get to know about the book I thought for a moment "somebody's biography how boring it will be." I was wrong and the book proved me wrong. Starting right from his childhood till death the book tells all the stories. His charm of mesmerizing females and sexuality power to attract every woman he met is one the greatest traits he had. The way he spends his earnings and how he is perpetually broke after every income... it all can be read in this book. Not only for knowing someone through his stories but for all those who want to learn and explore life this one is definitely the choice. Its worth reading in all aspects.

Summary: Wild, Fascinating.
Review: Klaus Kinski, one of the greatest of all screen actors, takes us through a wild, dirty, sometimes insane yet philosophical trip in his autobiography, "Kinksi Uncut" (originally published as "I Need Love"). Kinski makes us explore his hard childhood up to his rising as a famous actor through stage and onto film. His writing shows no mercy and he obviously was not someone afraid to say what he thought to someone's face. It is unpleasant at times, and I think, that's what he wanted, for some of the writing to make you disturbed. The book also has a touch of dark comedy, especially when he attacks the legendary German film director Werner Herzog, calling him murderous and stupid (don't be taken in though. Herzog himself has stated that he helped Kinski find words in the dictionary to attack the director, so the book would sell and not be boring). There is vivid detail here, great stories and even eroticism (some good, some just plain unpleasant). This is a valuable biography because Kinski takes us into the actor's mind, into his art as he describes, for example, how for the Herzog film "Aguirre, The Wrath Of God," he didn't use prosthetics for his menacing, hurt appearance. He looked crippled because he WANTED to be crippled. Here is a crazy artist, a man who lived life in all it's insanity. Though you may not agree with things he says, you must admit, it is a good book. Not for the squemish or conservatives. It stands along with Luis Buñuel's "My Last Sigh" as one of the most memorable autobiographies ever written by a film artist.

Summary: Dirty, Silly, Outrageous, but a lot of Fun
Review: Open the book to any page, and chances are Kinski is describing a sexual encounter. Open it to another page and he is probably talking about how stupid Werner Herzog or any other famous director is. Kinski is sick, but sick in a good way. If you like stuff way out on the edge, then pick this up. Despite all the bluster and megalomania, there is something charismatic about the way Kinski writes, and he can even be quite tender, especially when describing his relationship with his son. But then again, he describes another type of relationship that he has with his older sister. But it's just that type of juxtapostiton that makes this book priceless. At the very least, it will make you laugh out loud.

Summary: The earlier edition was the best book in the whole world!
Review: Since so much depends on the quality of the translation, I can't be sure Kinski Uncut is the greatest book ever written in the whole wide world. But the version released some years back under the title All I Need Is Love (and pulled from shelves due to a legal tangle) was indeed the best book ever written.
Veering wildly between screeds against the acting profession and his colleagues on one page and lurid, scatological sex scenes on the next, Kinski does to celebrity biographies what Faces of Death did to family moviegoing. And the style and tone! Wow!

Summary: he must have millions of kids
Review: The majority of the book is about sex. That makes it a fun read, but i doubt if klaus made all them conquests. One minute he's eyeing some chick at a railway station, the next thing you know they're makin whoopee. It's quite a fun book to read, even if klaus is the biggest egomaniac. Just read the last page of nonsense 'i came into this world in human form,but the suns stars deserts..mountains,skies,oceans were trapped inside me..' 'i am the gentle puff of air that caresses you eyes'. He could also have written 'i am a sex maniac and bs artist of the first order'
He claims an incestuous relationship with his sister. He takes part in the universe. He's a force of nature. He's the greatest actor...too great for herzog.
He must have been a monumental pain...! it's a good read anyway,but you'll want to hit the guy
