Product Description

HE'S DIESEL POWERED!

Vin Diesel's come a long way since his syage debut at the age of seven -- a gig he was offered after getting caught breaking into a New York City theater! But these days Vin's getting noticed for other talents -- and this time they're legal.

There is more to Vin than his pumped-up action-hero exterior. He's a serious actor who's written, directed and produced films that have been screened at the most prestigious film festivals in the world. Vin's got the skills and determination that took him from earning $20 a week to $20 million a film, and he knew he would be a star all along...He was just waiting for the rest of us to figure it out.

There really aren't words for this book. I thought it was great. It is a must have for every avid Vin Diesel fan. It reveals a great deal of his personal history, which is saying a lot for someone who keeps his past underwraps. It also give a little heads up on up coming films as well. Every one wants to know who this mysterious guy from NY is thats taken Hollywood by storm. Well this book will tell you his story and so much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vin the Man, July 28, 2005

By	Beatuiful Cassandra "Beautiful" (USA) - See all my reviews

I loved reading this book and could not put it down. I liked how it gave me more information on the struggle that Vin went through to become a supestar. This book gave me more to think about when it comes to avheiving a goal like Vin has and it doesn't hurt that he is absolutely beautiful.

I am a die-hard Diesel fan, so this was a must for me. Might be a little 'plain' for most.
