Jesse James book reviews are out and it is not looking good for the man who dubs himself an outlaw. “Jesse James - American Outlaw” is making news in the Canadian papers this morning, as his book is seen as a failed attempt by James to explain through his life story why he did what he did to Sandra Bullock.
The Vancouver Sun’s book review, “Jesse James American Outlaw or American Idiot,” reflects the Calgary Herald’stitle of “Soulless bio from bad boy of tabloids.” The Calgary Sun’s review says that Jesse James “is more like an American ass, than he is an American outlaw.”
James penned his book against the advice of his new fiancée, Kat von d, who said she supported him but told James he didn’t need to write this book. While Kat von d believed it was therapy for James, the book comes off more like bragging rights for the tattooed biker. The book chronicles James life from childhood to the break-up of his marriage to Sandra Bullock and the aftermath that ensued.
One of the more controversial sections of James’ book is when he describes Bullock’s reaction to James finally coming clean and telling her he had been cheating on her. James gives a blow by blow description of the emotions coming from Bullock, which again was more like a badge of honor for James than it was him talking about his sadness over hurting his ex like this.
James appears to like fancying himself a “bad boy” and his days of stealing cars and hanging out with the tough ladies seem to be a source of pride for the motorcycle mogul. The same goes for rendering Bullock an emotional mess during James confession, it seems to have built his ego up.
While many thought that James would say something new in this book that would show the world a different side of him and maybe grant him some redemption, this didn’t happen. The pages of the book were just his words in writing, the same words he has said during his many interviews. He had a bad childhood, his father and he are estranged and his promising high school football career went up in smoke due to an injury, were all the mishaps that brought James to the point of the sex scandal.
James did enough damage to Bullock by humiliating her publicly. This book is just a recap of what he has already done, as far as the last few chapters. James only came clean with Bullock because he learned from her publicist that Michele McGee’s story was coming out in a magazine. If McGee had never reported her escapades with the bad boy biker, then he and Bullock might still be married today.
