This book is excellent. It is presented as abstract, creative, and genious as it's subject. It also includes some of the rarest pictures of Jimmy, and unlike some other Dean Biographies keff keff ("Boulevard"...) the writing is as engrossing as the pictures themselves. This is an excellent addition to any JBD library, along with "Rebel" by Spoto and "The Mutant King". This book is more refference of Jimmy as a person, than a straight-forward bio, but that's what makes it great.

This book taught me so much about Dean's real feelings, what he was really like. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in his life. It is by far the best book ever published about James B.Dean.

I loved this book because it was ALL Jimmy!! No commentaries/analyses, etc. from anyone else. Just HIS thoughts and feelings. It also is filled with photographs, some rather rare. I didn't give it five stars, though, because I was disappointed that ALL the photographs are in black and white and I, "wrongly," assumed there would be some that would be color. But I still say GET THIS BOOK WHILE YOU CAN!!
