4.0 out of 5 stars Leo rules!!!!!!!!!!!, September 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Leonardo DiCaprio: A MODERN DAY ROMEO (Laurel-Leaf Books) (Paperback)

Leo is the best actor out there, so this book does a perfect job of telling about his life. From his early days on "Growing Pains" and "The Parenthood" to his first feature film as a lead role "This Boy's life" to The mega, oscar winning hit "Titanic", this book tells it all! This is something no Leo lover should be without!
