"Before I pursued stunt work, I was pursuing acting which I started around the age of 10. James Dean caught my attention and I found inspiration in his life and tragedy. This brings forth a wonderful exploration of this legends all too short life."
"while walking the hallways of my junior high school, i found this book (with no covers), pages yellowed on the ground. i picked it up and read. probably more than i can count throughout my life. this book probably did more for my angst-ridden teen butt than any other book during that time. and i became a film history buff and studied the art of acting (book only) because of it."
"This is my favorite book about James Dean. It includes a lot of information about his life in both Indiana and New York, where he lived prior to relocating to Hollywood. A very interesting read."
