2.0 out of 5 stars
Great for Photos but Lacking In Text,
By CJS (Hagerstown, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bruce Lee: The Tao of the Dragon Warrior (Paperback)
This book has tons and tons of photos of Bruce Lee but very little text information about Bruce and his life. It is a good overview but I was hoping for something a lot more substantial, especially interviews and such with those who knew and worked with Bruce.

3.0 out of 5 stars
not a bad biography,
By Ivy Kathryn Cavanaugh (Greensboro, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bruce Lee: The Tao of the Dragon Warrior (Paperback)
Pretty accurate about Bruce basics. This book is ok, But If you're going to read only one book about Bruce Lee, I strongly recommend THE TAO OF BRUCE LEE by Davis Miller, which is beautiful, funny, sad, inspiring, and surprisingly, a complete pageturner. I know Bruce's story pretty well but when reading Davis's book, there were moments when he actually had me wondering what would happen next. It's one of the best books about anybody or anything that I have read in a long time.
