5.0 out of 5 stars Heath Ledger Illustrated Biography, June 12, 2008

By	Debra A. LaValley (Claremont, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this fantastic book.
I thought I knew a lot about Heath, but I quickly found out that I was wrong. Heath was a very complex and mysterious man, and this book illustrates that fact throughout.
If you love Heath Ledger, you won't be disappointed in this book. Very informative, with absoluely breathtaking photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Double-Edged Sword, July 10, 2008

By	Claudia Stecker "Hollywood Trivia Queen" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I consider this book a double-edged sword: it's beautifully written with amazing photos never seen of Heath, but it's a painful reminder of the loss of a man who, although already proving himself an accomplished actor, had so much promise, potential, and life ahead of him. I am still having a hard time accepting that I'll now have to read books written in memory of him, but this one helps heal the heart. A beautiful tribute to an amazing man who is sorely missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heath is no joke, July 22, 2008

By	J. Kristine Jensen "busy bee" (Northfield, MN.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I highly recomend this book. It is a well written look at Heath's young life. Many wonderful pictures & facts the author seemed to have studied. There were a few errors I caught; like the picture of Heath & the nun he had a romp with at the beginning of Casanova, he stated under this picture that it's Heath & Sienna Miller. A few other mispelled names or words, but otherwise a fantastic book to enjoy if you loved Heath & his acting talent.
