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.

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 of 5 people found the following review helpful: 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.
