"As compelling as a great novel...an affectionate yet unflinching look at the life and films of a real-life swashbuckler."
        — Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition

"...a very well written, extensively researched, and lovingly created book...this book is absolutely brilliant! ...there is both an intimacy and feeling for Flynn and, at the same time, a professionalism with respect to the subject...it's a well-honed tapestry of richness done over time...Thomas McNulty has artistically crafted one fascinating and elegant read...I strongly recommend it."
        — Karl Holmberg, review at www.maskiflynn.co.uk

"Errol Flynn: The Life and Career is the best single book on Errol Flynn yet to be written...the research that went into the making of this book is impressive...among the book's most impressive qualities is its accuracy...the style throughout is a joy to read...literary elegance...biographical writing at its best...this is a highly original work...because McNulty has found and faithfully reproduced so many of these obscure, hard-to-find things – especially critical documents and remembrances of Flynn which otherwise would have been permanently lost – future generations already owe him an enormous debt...if anyone has come close to capturing 'the real Flynn,' it is McNulty...McNulty has gifted the world with an encyclopedic account that provides the first fully documented, carefully composed, and ultimately sympathetic reflection on Flynn's life and work..."
        — Lincoln D. Hurst, Ph.D., review at www.warriorfilmmakers.com

"Errol Flynn: The Life and Career by Thomas McNulty is so refreshing – and sorely needed...this is probably the most well thought out volume on Flynn simply because McNulty refuses to be a hack...his research is quite good, utilizing many diverse sources, and most of his opinions are grounded with good common sense...the result is the most balanced take on him ever achieved by an author."
        — Laura Wagner, Classic Images

"Thomas McNulty's new biography...explores the public face as well as the turmoil and angst behind the scenes...his analysis of his personal and professional relationships is especially intriguing...McNulty does an excellent job uncovering the facts of Flynn's life versus the myth that has been propagated throughout the years and his book will surely become an authoritative text...well-researched and thorough."
        — Erin Hill-Parks, Film & History

"Thomas McNulty has written an excellent book about Errol Flynn...this book is balanced and written with an understanding spirit...particularly interesting is the transformation of Flynn from carefree to cynical, and his incredible pursuit of knowledge.
