If you like scrap book format coffee table books, then this is the book to get. Each page is filled with enough color and sites to keep any guest awake through the wee hours of a party when the crowds have thinned out or are too drunk to talk. The book is a lively walk through the actor's life from his parents' first meeting to his super stardom as the "King of Bollywood." But the story does not stop there, this is more than just an actor's ego centric ramble. The book takes you on a journey through Bollywood and Indian culture both in the past and today. I would recommend this book to anyone to loves Shah Rukh Khan, Bollywood or colorful visual adventures.
If you want to see a good example of his acting then buy Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Shahrukh Khan)

OF course...by far he is the best in Bollywood!!!! My sister was the happiest person in the world to receive this gift for her birthday! She loves KING KHAN!!! ......who doesnt???!!!!

I am happy with this wonderfully illustrated and written coffe-table book about the King of Bollywood! I haven't finished the entire book because I am trying to savour every page but it is a must have for any SRK fan.

It is a book for all seasons; a book that should be on the coffee table-- picked up and read at any time; a book full of text and photos both inside and outside his cinematic life; a book of biography and filmography; an art book; a fun book featuring many photos of his film faces (remember Manu as a lady-of-the-night??) and much, much more.
Mustaq Shiekh, author: 'the book is a tale of a journey that led from New Delhi into the homes, hearts and minds of innumerable fans all over the world, and a journey that transcended boundaries of nations and the artificial barriers of culture'.

This a big, big, BIG book. It's a somewhat extravagant treat, granted, but oh so worth it! Beautifully put together, excellent photographs, fascinating subject. Just one warning to non-Hindi speakers: Indians have the delightful habit of flowing in and out of several languages at once. It's a charming trait, actually, and it works well if you happen to be fluent in the two languages that are being used in the same sentence. This works well for the Indian market, of course, and the NRI market, probably. But it's not so great for the NII market (the Non-Indian Indian market)that a growing number of Europeans and Americans belong to. I am so fond of SRK films that I've started learning Hindi. But the pitiful few words I've managed to learn do not begin to help me understand some of the many Hinglish phrases contained in this book. Still and all, if you're a Khan fan, this book is a must.

I loved this book and since I got it, I am reading it and enjoying every single page of it. I Recommend it to every fan of King khan (SRK)! You won't get disappointed!

I purchased this as an anniversary gift for a friend who is a huge SRK fan. I was very pleased with the service- I did expedited service and the book arrived in 2 days as I expected. It is a big thick coffee table style book with never before seen pictures of SRK and his family and interesting information. I would rate it 5 stars, if it were not for the price. At about $60 including shipping, I thought the price is a bit steep, although SRK fans might find it worth every cent!

Love the man, love the book. The book is a wonderful reflection of how hard SRK works for his place amongst the gods. Wonderful insights into his privaate world with questions begging to be answered. And glorious pics.

It is a very gud coffee table book. I can keep reading it and never get bored...
