Good Biography for Young Adults!, February 22, 2005
This is a biography for all those Star Wars fans out there. If you want the understanding of a young Star Wars fan to expand, here's one way you can do it. Begin with an easy to read, interesting biography of George Lucas. It covers his early years (not doing well in school) and a growing interest in film in college. George Lucas also had to study film and find out about its history. The book is an eye opener for many youngsters dazzled by the glitz and confused about the hard work in the movie making world. This book provides an easy but necessary dip into the pool.

Not very deep or profund, August 1, 2003
I thought that because having the name A&E associated with it, the book would be an in-depth review of the man's life. Needless to say, after reading the book in one day, I noticed that my knowledge on Lucas had not improved.
Very few is added to what fans already know (that he almost got killed in a car crash, he struggled to make American Graffitti, and Star Wars was a surprise success to him)
This book lacks the depth a figure of Lucas' status should be given. I wanted to know personal data as family members, how was the relationship with his father (rumored by many to be represented in Darth Vader) if he was the geek in school or not, etc, etc.
Good for non-fans or persons that know almost nothing about him, pass if you have read or learnt something about this modern myth-maker.

George Lucas (A & E Biography), February 12, 2012
A good over view of George's life. I enjoyed it very very much, I think George is a very interesting person and this book was a help in my research.
