This review is from: Livewire Real Lives Russell Crowe (Livewires) (Paperback)

Less a biography than a series of fairly random facts loosely organized into chapters such as "Making Music" and "On the Farm", this 28-page booklet seems geared to elementary school readers. In consideration of that I'm penalizing it for typographical errors and bizarre paragraph construction. The quality of the 9 black and white photos is just plain dreadful. If you're at better than a 4th-grade reading level this is not worth bothering with even for the novelty value.
