Its not that this book is bad...
Believe me, this is a good book. But, I don't feel comfortable with the way Dean is protrayed. Gilmore seems to make James out to be a whore... [...] The only bisexual reference he makes about Dean is the relationship HE had with him. There is a lot more in this book about his career than his sexual life...don't be fooled...its done well. All I can say is, if this is how James Dean really was (and he might have been) I lost just a little respect for him. Nothing to do with his sexual identity just some things he said about people ect... but...the truth hurts and at times, so does this book.

View Altering
As an avid James Dean fan and bio reader, I pick up most all of his bios and try them out. This one definitely ranks up there with some of the best. It is told by a Very close friend of Jimmy's and goes into exacting detail about character traits of the brilliant star. Though it is absolutely not your "typical" biography in a objective sense-because it can't be-it may be a better insight for that reason. The gritty reality imposed by this book is palpable; literally! You will watch Jimmy through some of the closest eyes ever to reflect his image. A Must Read for true fans.

Nothing Shocking
I loved this book, was not shocked by anything his "best friend" Gilmore had to tell us. It's the sort of stuff I'd heard about for years, and it was fun to finally hear about Jimmy through the eyes of someone who actually knew him. Jimmy was a "bad boy" for sure, I got a kick out of it. It's extremely well written and I'd recommend this to any Dean fan (who isn't a complete prude).

Interesting and Quick
I ussually eat through books pretty fast and this one went especially quick. It was an intersting book and VERY DRAMATIC! I thought it was worth reading, but I wish they would have had more about the horses. I liked it , as a quick read, but it does contain some swearing, which I'm okay with, but others might not be.
