The photo of Gabriel Byrne with his daughter is awesome. If you had to define "tenderness" with a photo, this would be that photo. Of course I am a Gabriel Byrne fan, and that's why I purchased this book.

For Christmas,I purchased this book for my son-in-law and husband. On the pages before the title page I placed pictures of children, and grandkids for my husband.

I was very hesitant to buy this book when I first learned about it because I was really only interested in one Hollywood Dad. However, once the book was in my hands, I discovered it was an absolutely superb book. The photos are outstanding, and I loved Joyce Ostin's comments about meeting each of the celebrities. The subjects' comments about being Dads were pretty great too. Without a doubt, it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Joyce Ostin has done a great job of portraying some of our favorite Hollywood men with either their own fathers or their children. Although there are some photos I definitely liked more than others, the book is filled with great tidbits of wisdom from fathers and sons that anyone can appreciate.

This would make the perfect gift for a new father, your own father, or even a conversation-starting coffee table book.

I'm going to pick up a copy of Hollywood Moms next.

The photographs in this book are awesome...well worth the money. I bought it because I'm a big fan of David Duchovny and Tea' Leoni. I had seen baby pictures of their children, but not of them as they are growing up. All the photos are great...very touching.

I gave this book two stars bz the photography was good but I didn't even know most of the "stars" who were pictured. I was expecting very well known faces and was disappointed not to see them. Also, the picture of Kiefer Sutherland is at least 15 years old. I was hoping for a current picture of him with his daughter and that's why I bought the book.

I was really taken with this book. The photos are so incredibly sweet and really capture the actor with his children. Having a book like this helps you understand what's really important. Family. While we all appreciate these mens' contributions to show business, seeing them in such a private setting makes all we've already seen even better.

Joyce Ostin is able to capture special intimate photos of fathers with their children. Her captions beside the photos are very descriptive of what it was like to photograph and spend time with the celebrities...the celebrities are just like most loving fathers and their children. I also enjoyed reading the quotes from the fathers regarding parenting. A must read and a great book to keep on the coffee table to bring smiles to all who see it!
