5.0 out of 5 stars If I could go higher than 5 stars, I would, December 17, 2006

By	N. Tahal (Bronx, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Words cannot explain how wonderful this book is. I bought it to put on my coffee table and I don't have the coffee table yet. I just couldn't wait!!! There are dozens of inserts. Some of them are handwritten poems and letters he wrote throughout his life. Pictures of him and his family growing up. There are flyers of events he took part in, his correctional facilty ID card and even his grocery list. It's unbelievable how well this book was put together. A must have for any Tupac fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautful book; innovative auto/biography, August 30, 2007

By	Deborah Martinson (Burbank, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book for my son-in-law who is much interested in Tupac. When I opened it, I was amazed at how beautifully put together the book is. It has an innovative, creative format which combines story, photo, and the primary source materials of his life. I know this is probably a pretty academic review--but really, this is a creative, gorgeous, well- designed auto/biography. Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tupac: A Precious Side to Remember, September 20, 2006

By	Dr. Marilyn Windham (Lincoln, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is so incredible!!!Just to turn the pages brings awe and goosebumps. The life and times of Tupac are captured in his words on CD and in his writings which are so eloquently reproduced that you feel you are holding the actual paper that he wrote upon. The personal memorabilia scattered throughout the book bring him alive. The man in all of his complexity and compassion is revealed. This is a book to treasure.
