This review is from: Alyssa Milano (Real-Life Reader Biography) (Library Binding)

overpriced...even though its a nice addition for any alyssa fans they charge too much(original price) in my opinion. its about the size of a dr seuss book with print to match. [money] as a starting price would have been better - more fair. i've gotten more info from a magazine for waay less than i have from this. i feel like any original buyers were taken advantage of.

This review is from: Alyssa Milano (Real-Life Reader Biography) (Library Binding)

In this biography, author John Bankston has managed to make the rather sexy career of actress Alyssa Milano sound squeaky-clean. Even while referencing interviews in Maxim and Stuff magazines, Bankston has done quite a bit to clean up Milano's image. While useful for it's intended purpose, which I assume is Elementary age kids doing a book report, this is not an in-depth study. I doubt anyone expects it to be.
Interestingly, though other books in this series include a complete filmography, Milano's is "selected."
Also, I was not aware that Milano was running a big campaign to stop celebrity internet porn and I question that information being included in a book geared towards children.
As always, an extra 1/2 star to any book that references Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which this does twice.
