"You may think you know who John Wayne was, but until you've read this book, and seen just how many ways the man overlapped with the roles, and the words forged the man, his views and his career, you will never really know who he was. A simply brilliant and vastly entertaining book that you will return to again and again." --J. Michael Straczynski, creator/writer, Sense8 and Together We Will Go

"A delightful treasure trove of movie quotes from the Duke that are sure to entertain his legion of fans. A finely researched and well done compilation." --Michael R. Pitts, author, Western Movies: A Guide to 5,105 Feature Films and Poverty Row Studios, 1929-1940

"John Wayne's film characters weren't much for fancy speeches. They tended to be laconic, strong willed and self-assured. They wasted no words and when they spoke, their comments often stuck in memory. John Wayne Speaks collects comments and retorts by the cops, cowboys and other characters he played. In Wayne's world, a man assayed his words before speaking and dropped no fool's gold into the conversation."
--David Luhrssen, author of World War II on Film

"A treat for movie buffs! Mark Orwoll's entertaining, comprehensive and informative collection of quotes perfectly captures the enduring screen image that was the iconic legend John Wayne." --Gene Freese, The Western Films of Robert Mitchum

"John Wayne Speaks works as an entertaining overview of a long and memorable career. With its extensive filmography, it could be the best short book on the subject ever compiled." --Shepherd Express
