Bryan White review By: Sarah Hale
Bryan White is THE BEST book I've read, when I start reading it I can't put it down. Him being my FAVORITE country star.
I just can't tell you enough about it. It is a really cool book you will just have to read it yourself to find out what I mean.
That is if your in to Bryan White.

Leonardo: A Scrapbook in Words and Pictures

Average review score:
It's not the best but it's not the worst either.
I have bought it I think last week because it was sold out before. I wasn't that enthusiastic about it when I have read and view it. But it's not really bad, if you're a first time Leo fan, but I'm not. The book was quite expensive here, than you bought it in U.S. But it was good for a purpose though, I scanned almost all of Leo's pictures there and posted it on my website. Grace Catalano put Leo in such simple words which easily describes him.
good book if searchin' for info & (hot) pics!
an interesting book where you can find lots of info, quotes and picks of leonardo dicaprio! interesting to read and look! i had a good time reading it, hope you'll too!
EVERY ONE...;.
WHY DO YOU LIKE HIM JUST FOR HIS LOOKS AND NOT FOR HIS ACTING.I AM A GIRL AND I LIKE LEO FOR HIS ACTING.

I did not like the book
Since I do not like Leann Rimes ,I did not find this book appeling and would not recommend this book to anyone except people withreally bad taste.
My favorite part of the book is all the great photos of her.
I love the book.My favorite part is all photos of LeAnn Rimes
Great for all, but not enough
This biography is a great layout for the LeAnn Rimes fan to learn about this musical sensation. However, it did not include a lot of LeAnn's personal thoughts on things, only her likes and dislikes. It is a great book for a newcoming fan, but for those of you who have been following her since day one (like me), would want something a little more. I just wish she would write an autobiography! There have been rumors of her soing so, so if you have any info, please e-mail me immediatly! Love to all you LeAnn fans, and especially to LeAnn! We love you! :)
Freddie Prinze Jr.: He's All That (Laurel-Leaf Books)
Published in Paperback by Bantam Books (1999)
Amazon base price: $4.99
Average review score:
Penetrating Biography by a Master
Much like Boswell's Life of Johnson, this book sacrifices some measure of objectivity and thoroughness to achieve a complete and convincing portrait of the subject in question. Basing her work on the 25 years she has known Prinze, Catalano brings to life the garrulous, insatiable, charming man. The work does drag a bit near the beginning, but bildungsroman has ever been the bĂȘte noir of biography. A classic which every bibliophile should own.
I loved it!
This book was great. When I went to Borders bookstore, I looked and looked for a Freddie biography, and this was the only one there. I am looking forward to finding the others too, but this one was excellent! it was entertaining, and provided a lot of good information, about his childhood, and about his movies. I am a big fan of Freddie's, and this book made me want to see his earlier works a lot more (To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday, The House of Yes). Freddie fans will enjoy this book! And even if you're not a Freddie fan... well, try it anyway. It's worth reading. =) The only problem is that it was written before some changes occured, such as Freddie and Kimberly breaking up, so it was a little irritating to read about them going out. But it was still factual (of the time that it was written) and it was helpful to know who she was, and how their lives were intertwined. Anyway, read the book, it's enjoyable!
THIS BOOK REALLY PROVES THAT HE IS ALL THAT
I am a very BIG fan of Freddie and find it hard to find things about him. This book was great and i was so happy to find it. I ma one of his largest fans in australia. The book shows that Freddie is a real nice guy and reading this i am sure that you will love him even more. I hope you all enjoy the book!
Meet the Stars of Dawson's Creek

Average review score:
This book was a good start.
This book had much of the same info. we see everyday on web pages or articles. It had a few pictures in the middle that I have seen before. This book tells all about the real life of the characters. If you don't know much about the real life Dawson's Creek members, then this would be good for you.
No New Info
Any DC fan knows all this already. But it was decent. I do recommend it though, if you are DC clueless. Nice pictures.
GREAT BOOK GOOD INFO!!
THis was a good book and provided mewith lots of informatio
Leonardo Dicaprio: Modern-Day Romeo (Laurel-Leaf Books)
Published in Paperback by Bantam Books (1997)
Amazon base price: $4.99
Average review score:
It was great
If you really love Leo (as I do) then this book is just fun to have. There really is nothing in there that you can't find on the net if you look around. Some of the pictures of him are absolutely adeorable. Although it does offer more insight on his personal life. I liked it a lot but it isn't a must have. Also does anyone know where I could attain (I like that word) a copy of another bio I heard about on him. Iknow it had some of the Rebel Without a Cause wording in the titl
It's Okay, but now you have to buy the "new one" w/ Titanic
This book was pretty good. I have just recentaly noticed Dicaprio. I actually did on Growing Pains, but I was like 8 or something so I didn't totally notice acting abilities and the actors. Also baisclly because Leo was only on for one season, and I did know all the others, pretty well. Any way since recentaly I became a fan I got some info that I didn't know which is good. But as others say, now thinking abou it, it seems as if the aurthor took quotes from previous interviews, and other magazines. And if there were some family friends and friends of Leo, "normal none-acting ones" it would make it better. Also if there was more on all the trouble he went through to make it to where he is today. Not just the "Romper Room" incident. But guess what for all those interested in a Titanic chapter you need to dish out another 5 or 6 bucks, because since Titanic is has been reprinted by the publisher 12 times, and now antoher reprint with a Titanic chapter. Next thing it'll be for Iron Mask, Don's Plumb, and what ever else he's doing.
Simply Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great book on Leo. It had all the information I would have ever wanted on the actor. naturally, I think all of the books I have on Leo are great but this was, well, different. It was much better then the rest. All of my friends and I have it at we think it it 'Simply Wonderful!' It tells about all of his movies, all his comercials, and about a million awesome web-sights. If you want any good information on Leo, than this is the best book for you. It also tells about when Leo firt started acting. It's a really awesome book! See ya!
River Phoenix: Hero and Heartthrob

Average review score:
Good pictures; poor writing
I am a huge River Phoenix fan, and I think that he was one of the beautiful souls of our time. This book had some excellent pictures of both River and his family, but I thought that its content was pathetic. It was written by Grace Catalano, the woman that writes those mindless biographies about Hanson and the Backstreet Boys today. There were some good quotes from River (of course, he always seemed to have a good quote on the tip of his tongue), but aside from that, it's just a teenybopper POV bio, and anyone with an IQ of -41 can read it. It makes River seem so clean-cut and perfect, he doesn't seem human. And he was human. Unless you know nothing about River Phoenix and are desperate, I wouldn't recommend this book.
this book is allright but i have mixed fealingsabout it
this book is ok but it was published so early in rivers career I think it was just to satisfy teens.
<P> I LOVED IT! THOUGH IT WAS OLD AND OUT OF DATE INFO!
I HAVE FOLLOWED RIVERS PAST FOR NEARLY A YEAR NOW AND EVEN THOUGH THE BOOK WAS OLD IT HAD AN EXCELLENT BIOGRAPHY OF HIS YOUNG LIFE IN SOUTH AMERICA, AS WELL AS PHOTOS OF HIM AND HIS FAMILY. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN RIVER, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE REAL HIM, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT HE TOOK DRUGS. BRIDGET
