Summary:

I LOVED IT! THOUGH IT WAS OLD AND OUT OF DATE INFO!
Review:

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

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good pictures; poor writing
Review: 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.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: this book is allright but i have mixed fealingsabout it
Review: this book is ok but it was published so early in rivers career I think it was just to satisfy teens.
