4.0 out of 5 stars PIctures of a Beautiful Man......., July 7, 1999

By A Customer

Just ordered the book for myself. I am a huge Dlh fan and liked the pictures that highlight the start of his career to the present. I would like to see a more current one though. A must for any Dlh Fan.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mainly a picture book for avid fans of Oscar, November 24, 1998

By A Customer

I ordered this book, sight unseen, with the idea that it was a biography of the "Golden Boy," Oscar De La Hoya. What it actually consists of is a large format photo book, with some rather shallow, short articles about the fighter. While the photos are great, I wanted more than this. For fans of Oscar, such as the many women who dream about him, the book probably won't disappoint them. But for me, it was a letdown as I expected more print and less photos. Something to analyze and explain the De La Hoya phenomenon.
