A Real Page Turner, September 20, 2006
This review is from: Jesse James: Legendary Rebel and Outlaw (Signature Lives) (Library Binding)
I bought this for my twelve-year-old nephew, who is fascinated with all things Western, and ended up reading it myself. Thought I knew who Jesse James was, mostly from movies, but the author opened my eyes to the real outlaw. This is a gripping, real life story, expertly told. Kids and adults will appreciate the dozens of photos and illustrations. Made me feel like I was there, and I was surpised at how 'modern' the world was, with tabloid celebrities and phonies 'spinning' their stories for our attention.

Best In Series, September 20, 2006
This review is from: Jesse James: Legendary Rebel and Outlaw (Signature Lives) (Library Binding)
I've read a number of the biographies in the 'Signature Lives' series. They're all good, and beautifully designed, but 'Jesse james' is the best of the bunch so far. No insult to the author intended, but as I read I kept thinking 'this should be a movie'.
