Gr 6-8-Two easy-to-read biographies about current teen idols that are lacking in substance. Both have average-quality, full-color photos throughout. However, there are some stark differences in the portrayal of the two subjects. In Brad Pitt, the message is conveyed that through hard work and taking all the opportunities that come along, one may be able to reach one's dreams. Secondary sources come mostly from magazines such as People and US. Hawes talks mainly of her subject's relationships with her many boyfriends, quoting Lee as saying about one of them, "He was very young and wet behind the ears. I taught him how to love." When the book discusses her career, it attributes her success to her physique rather than to her talent. For example, wearing a T-shirt with a beer logo across the chest, "she began to jump up and down enthusiastically and to shake her very evident assets for all they were worth." Needless to say, she was hired to advertise for the beer company. Brad Pitt is mediocre but does have some strengths; forget Pamela Anderson Lee.-Katherine Borchert, Arlington Central Library, VA

Hot book for a HOT Babe,
By "rokket" (Bunny Ranch, Nevada USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pamela Anderson Lee (Superstars of Film) (Library Binding)
This is a must have pictorial book for all the Pamela Lee Anderson fans! It features many compromising photos of Pam. See this Baywatch Babe in many different swimsuits and outfits as well. You will not be disappointed by the content. Hurry up and purchase the girl featured most ever on "Playboy" covers!

Don't buy it for the pictures.,
By Christopher Ohlgren "chris" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pamela Anderson Lee (Superstars of Film) (Library Binding)
I was very disappointed with this book. It is small, a little larger than a paperback novel. The pictures are poor quality. Poor quality meaning bad coloration, grainy, and uninteresting (most pictures are press or news type images). I bought the book because I think Pam is beautiful, and I like looking at pictures of her. I think I would of liked this book more if I was interested in her life story, which seems to be the focus. This is a cheap small biography of Pam with not so great pictures. If you want a good book FULL of good pictures of Pamela Anderson, I recomend "Pamela Anderson Her Life in Pictures" by Stephen Wayda.
