5.0 out of 5 stars "Speeding Bullet" shatters "Hollywood Kryptonite", February 3, 2000

By A Customer

Growing up as a child, reruns of the George Reeves "Superman" series were always high on the list of shows to watch. Trying to gather information about the death of Reeves, I originally read most of this text in a magazine supplement, then found "Hollywood Kryptonite." The latter struck me as very sensational, in the tabloid sense. It is very clear the Mr. Henderson has very carefully and lovingly researched this subject, and he has presented the book in a manner that informs as well as entertains. The credibility of "Hollywood Kryptonite" suffers as the reader finds out about the false sources, misquotes and misinformation contained therein. Mr. Henderson delivers a solid presentation, and anyone interested in the life and death of George Reeves should start right here, and leave "Hollywood Kryptonite" right on the shelf - right next to the Enquirer. Fans of George Reeves won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speeding Bullet is an excellent book on actor George Reeves!, April 14, 2000

By	B. Mah "Bill" (Edmonton, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews

Speeding Bullet rates as an excellent book on the life and death of actor George Reeves. True, he will forever be known to millions of generations of fans as the one and only true Superman, but he did have a very fascinating life that most people never even knew about. Most TV news stations and newspapers always dwell on his tragic (and maybe mysterious) death, but the author of Speeding Bullet, Jan Alan Henderson, did some excellent research on George Reeves which rates as a very entertaining read through out. It never loses its touch at all. I was just thrilled with the amount of information that there was on Reeves from his childhood to his acting career to being TV's Superman and up to the night of his death in 1959.

An excellent book which I recommend to every fan of TV's "Adventures of Superman" and George Reeves. It will not disapoint you at all. This book also features a foreword written by actor Jack Larson, TV's Jimmy Olsen himself!
