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 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.

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.

This is a great tribute to a great actor, Heath Ledger. The book gives its readers good background information about Heath, but also includes some great pictures of Heath as well. This book is well worth the money!

This is a beautiful book, filled with striking photos of the late Heath Ledger...the first few times I went through it, I felt a sadness wash over me...we only have images of him now....still hard to accept his death....the book chronicles his life and how he lived in the moment, not the past or the future...he accomplished so much in his 28 years, and this book is a perfect testament to that...

This book was interesting to read for a Heath Ledger fan. Unfortunately, it could be better. Throughout the entire book, the author skips around to different points in Heath's life. The author focuses on Heath's co-stars rather than Heath's work many times and the book ends pretty suddenly (although that was true of Heath's life). On a positive note, there are many good photographs to help document Heath's life, but two photos that are inappropriate for a book.

If you are a true Heath Ledger fan, you will still enjoy the book, but do use some caution.

As we know that anytime a famous person dies there is a rush of people who want to write about their lives. What you usually get are half truths and lies that don't have any basis in fact.

This book is completely different. Not only is it filled with wonderful photos from Heath Ledger's films and from the publicity shots as well, but there was many insightful passages that contained some info that I had not known before.

There are some minor inconsistencies, but they did not deter me from enjoying this book very much. I would highly recommend this book, it truly does pay tribute to this wonderful actor and human being who left this life too soon.

This is a wonderful pictorial book on the work of Heath Ledger. With photos of his films. reviews, comments and leagcy. In his short life he managed to make his mark from Brokeback Mountain to The Dark Knight. His work is dedicated to his craft and always taking risks in whatever he did.
To lose such a talent is heartbreaking when you think of all the work he could have done in years to come.

This book has a lot of great pictures of Heath and this book is a must and a keepsake for Heath Ledger fans. I bought it for my son as a christmas present and he really loves it and I am a Heath Ledger fan as well, I have to make sure he takes care of this book because I really like it as well.

I am a big Heath fan and I enjoyed this book. It was full of great big glossy photos. It had good info and was generally positive. One thing that I didn't care for was it went into detail of what happened in each of his films, if your a Ledger fan, you already know, so kind of a waste of time and it said many of his films were not hits, which only you can judge that but all in all I am glad I bought it for my collection.
