This book is by Larry Manetti - who played "Rick" in the TV show.
Right away it is apparent that Larry is no writer. Don't expect literary genius here.
He provides some insight into the inner workings of the show, how and where it was filmed, and some of the things that happened behind the scenes. At best it's a collection of show trivia, really. I loved the TV show, and found lots of things he wrote about that were fairly interesting. You find out that Tom Selleck is a genuinely really nice guy, and very generous to his friends.
But when I finished the book (and that didn't take long) I really didn't care about it anymore. I gave it to my aunt who is a Tom Selleck fanatic.

Anyone who doesn't find Larry Manetti's "Aloha Magnum" entertaining isn't a Magnum P.I. fan, and definitely isn't a Larry Manetti fan, that, or you just don't have a pulse. Larry Manetti is a great entertainer and the stories he shares in his book only reemphasize his great humor and character. His sarcastic and occasionally abrasive humor shine though in the wild tales he tells, which make the tales even more "Manetti-esque," and that much more endearing. Anyone who is critical of Manetti for being arrogant or an egoist in this book or otherwise...forget about not having a pulse, you probably have no soul. Larry Manetti shares a few personal facts about his life that will make your heart go out him. Manetti's been through some difficult times, and more power to him for overcoming them and being the "tough little guy" he is. (albeit, 5'7'' isn't really all that little!) Thanks for sharing some of your experiences Mr. Manetti!

I found this book on my shelf recently and re-read it. It's pretty funny and a quick, enjoyable read. I loved Magnum back in the day and still occaisionally watch the reruns on cable. Rick was a great character and Larry Manetti is a great storyteller. The recipes even look good. The episode guide is a nice bonus, since it includes comments and asides on what he remembers about most of the episodes.

This is an entertaining but different book...and only for Magnum fans! It gives the reader some funny anecdotes and stories from the life on and off the set. You also get a complete episode guide with some more (or less) interesting private comments by Manetti. He's seems to be a funny guy and that's reflected in how this book is written.
I think Manetti is great as Rick and I appreciate his part of the greatest TV show ever. I'm also grateful for him writing this book that give us fans some more MPI information but I really don't know why Manetti includes some of his best recipes in this book (even if the recipes look really delicious). This book could be better than it is, but it's better than nothing...and for any Magnum fan it's a must!
