The world was electrified in 1973 when Enter the Dragon was released. Western audiences had never seen a screen hero with such charisma, on screen presence and athletic grace. Sadly, its star, Bruce Lee, died three weeks before its release-yet, on the basis of Enter the Dragon and four other Hong Kong productions, Bruce Lee has become an immortal icon, a man with a following that reaches every corner of the globe with an almost religious fervor. What is it about Bruce Lee that captures the attention of so many? Remembering Bruce reveals the real Bruce Lee, a passionate man whose martial arts skill and philosophical teachings have attracted generations to his message. More than an actor, Bruce Lee was a teacher who inspired countless people to honestly express themselves and become better human beings. Remembering Bruce examines Lee's legacy not just as a star and martial artist, but as a teacher and motivator.

Of the many books on Bruce Lee, most deal with the mechanics of his art or are repetitive biographies. Remembering Bruce is special. Written by an educated fan who is also a martial artist, Remembering Bruce unveils the truth behind the Bruce Lee myth: that Bruce Lee was much more than a chop-socky actor-indeed, that he was an innovative thinker, a great mind of his time whose legacy will endure.

James Bishop,
By A Customer
This review is from: Remembering Bruce: The Enduring Legend of the Martial Arts Superstar (Paperback)
After catching the author on the Patrick Phillips talk show speaking about Bruce Lee, I went out and bought the book. I was very impressed with the impact that Bruce Lee has had on the everyday people Bishop has written about. I had no idea that Bruce Lee has made such a profound contribution to culture and civilization and the book has made me look at Bruce Lee in an entirely different light.

GREAT BOOK!,
By Dave Wilson (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Remembering Bruce: The Enduring Legend of the Martial Arts Superstar (Paperback)
This book is a really great examination of what it is about Bruce Lee that so inspires millions of people. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. Too many books on Bruce Lee tend to be heavy on useless facts and light on substance. "Remembering Bruce" doesn't get bogged down by a lot of silly trivia and minutia, but instead focuses on the positive impact his philosophy and legacy have had on people.

This review is from: Remembering Bruce: The Enduring Legend of the Martial Arts Superstar (Paperback)
This book really boils it down to the nuts and bolts of what made Bruce Lee such an amazing man. It looks at each aspect of his personality and shows the reader what made him so unique. Also, the book talks about the recent events in the Bruce Lee world, such as the organizations that have been formed to preserve his memory. It also lets the reader know where he can find the best info on Bruce Lee.
