Wow, Di Dean is a great artist and storyteller! She is a influential writer with a special charm. Hollywood Lit was very rewarding, enthralling, and has a irresistable appeal! She captivates and attracts the reader while unveiling her secret ..Hollywood Lit must be held with excellence..it has insightful messages that are pleasing to the mind.

I think that Di is a good writer and she seems very sincere. I believe her story and it thrills me to know that Jimmy most likely left a piece of himself in the world in the form of a child . I just wish that she would come out with more info about herself and her childhood.There is so much more that I want to know.Like who was her Mother "Cat"? She doesn't sound like any of the women I've heard about that were linked to Jimmy before. Even though I enjoy her writing, I wish that the book had been written in more of a straightforward narrative style.
For example- My Mother met James Dean in this month, and this year . Thats the kind of writing I personally prefer in dealing with a biography book like this.

Magical story telling - Di's words captured my interest from the beginning. I feel priviledged to have had a peek into her life journey...and a glimpse of Hollywood of days past. I look forward to her next book.

I was touched by this story. I started to read this fancinating life drama and I literally could not stop until I had finished. I was blown away by this secret concerning James Dean and "Cat" which was revealed by Di Dean. What a heart wrenching experience. I hope to learn more about Di Dean.

wow..an amazing revelation and fabulous story from a gifted writer...cant wait to read more on the life of Di.

I read this with no preconceptions and was VERY impressed; DAMN, she writes well ! There's a point in the book that just took my breath away it was so . . . shocking! READ IT . . BUY IT! This should be on the NY Times best-seller list . . . HEY HOLLYWOOD: WAKE UP TO THIS WOMAN AND STORY ! ! ! !

Di Dean's writing style is unique and breath-taking. Her story tugged at my heart strings through out every page. I recommend this book to anybody who has been broken, confused, left behind, or simply is just interested in old Hollywood.

Gripping,fresh and original first novel by Di Dean. Hollywood Lit reads like a fast paced movie script. I could not get enough of the sister scenes. This startling journal of a twisted Hollywood affair and childhood will leave you with wanting more. A must read!

I am truly amazed by this story. All the mystery and intrigue really keeps the reader on edge. This tale struck my soul. An absolute MUST read.

Di Dean's memoir is truly an amazing story that seamlessly weaves together the tantalizing yet forbidden love her mother and James Dean had with own traumatic late life realization that everything she thought she knew was a lie. Di's pursuit for her paternal truth is action packed and I found I was hooked from page one. I loved this book and recommend it to one and all. I would give this six stars if I could!!!!!
