1 out of 5 stars Horrible.......2000-10-25

I think Leo is cute and all that, but to actually devote an entire picture book to this higly arrogant and pretentious star is sinful. More importantly, its boring.

This book is rather comprehensive, of course, except that its pre-'The Beach'. So we get to see lots of Leo in his Titanic hey-day, looking as swollen as a goose. Thankfully, there are no nude shots of this actor. Anyone whos seen 'The Beach' knows the body that Leo has and not many people are interested in it, I understand. I for one, am not.

In any case, if Leo is your cup of tea, visit a bookstore and flick through this, but for heaven's sake don't buy it! Not at all recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Maturity of a very elegant young man.......2000-05-21

I am not a heart-throb teen-ager, in fact it has been many years since I was a teen-ager. I speak for a lot of us who watched this young man as a child actor and somehow always knew in the back of our minds that the potential was there for one great actor. I think this book certainly reflects some of the roles that he played which I believe he feels were not his best but it was all a learning experience which has set the precedent for the great actor that he is today. The book gives a great review from the beginning of his career to the present. The only negative comment that I possible may have is the fact I would have liked to read a little more about his latest movie which of course was The Beach. Otherwise, it was a great book with a lot of coverage. I will look forward in the future to other books about this young man,s career.
