I bought this book hoping it might give a somewhat intelligentor insightful look into this talented young star, since it seems to methat DiCaprio is an actor whose skill makes him worth a serious book or two. Alas, I was mistaken. The book is written more in the vein of a teeny bopper fan magazine, with an extremely superficial "history" supposedly of his life (but actually more about his films). It says nothing penetrating or original, and its most controversial statements are some asides about minor idiosyncracies or mischief which have an "ain't he cute" attitude and come straight from the publicity department. A more intelligent and revealing look at this young actor is long overdue.
