I Caught Flies for Howard Hughes

Rating:
Summary: A Good Read-Much different than other HH books
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Though not as informative as I would have liked, it gave an insight into Howard Hughes ranging from mildy compassionate to sadistic. The books expands from focussing exclusively on Hughes to highlighting the adverse affect of Hughes actions on Ron and his family. The surprising thing was Ron gets sentimental even after he was treated so poorly by his employer, but, it gave you an essence of how captivating Hughes was to anyone who came into contact with him.

Review: I thought Ron Kistler's humorous insight of a man that hardly anyone really knew was one of the funniest books I've ever read. The bizarre details that Kistler was assigned to makes Hughes even more of a kook than anyone ever imagined.I had the book years ago and somehow misplaced or lost it and really would like to find another copy, even used would be good.

Summary: Highly Entertaining!
Review: Not only am I glad to have the book, I am a personal friend of Ron Kistler's wife Virgie. Virgie and I worked at the same company a few years back. It was interesting listening to all the stories she told as I was reading the book. The book makes for very enjoyable reading. I intend to share it with my family and friends now that I have my own copy of Ron's book. I treasure Virgie like one of my family members. I wish I would have had the opportunity to meet Ron Kistler.

Summary: I Caught Flies for Howard Hughes
Review: This book is a fascinating personal account of the strange, at times obsessive behaviour of Howard Hughes and the power he wielded from inside his secret world. However I did not find any of the incidents recalled amusing and certainly not hilarious.
