The
Build: Designing My Life of Choppers, Family and Faith – Paul Teutel Jr.
(Waterbrook)
In a strange new world of “reality” celebrity where
more often than not the celebrities in question are famous more so for the sake
of being famous, than for displaying any semblance of talent, Paul Teutel Jr.,
the custom bike builder who became famous during the decade long run of the
American Chopper program that made him and his father along with their shop
Orange County Choppers household names actually has some design and building skills.
While I never watched the show and certainly wasn’t caught
up in the contentious, brawling relationship between father and son that lead
to Paul Jr. being fired by his old man, it did find his book The Build: Designing My Life of Choppers,
Family and Faith to be an interesting summation of his journey since that
auspicious departure.
Paul Jr. serves up a nice mix of his life story, his professional
career the ups and downs, and his path to personal fulfillment and God. Fans of
the program will eat this stuff up and may end up being surprised by the
outcome.
