Boulevard of Broken Dreams: The Life, Times, and Legend of James Dean

Rating:
Summary: WHOAAAA!!!!
Review: I knew pratically nothing about James Dean's life besides he was hot, so this book was very insighting and throughly shocking when Alexander continously arises questions on Dean's sexuality. Some of the scenes are so descriptive that its easy to concluded that most likely the author's own amourous feelings towards Dean most likely plays a role in the writing of this book.

Oh, NAKED PIC OF JAMES DEAN IN THE BOOK!!!!!!!!! :o) FOR THAT IT GETS 5 STARS ALONE!! lol

Summary: Sick
Review: The picture towards the end of the book could not have been Jimmy. #1 I don't think he would ever do that, #2 if it was really him wouldn't we have seen it by now? His friends denied it also. That picture was disgusting and uncalled for, along with the "stories" of his "homosexuality". I went to his hometown last July and I met several people who knew him personally. When asked, "What was Jimmy like?" One woman said, "Jimmy was all boy." I think that answered my question. Meeting people who knew him, and seeing his hometown you could almost feel him there. It's time that people need to stop trying to profit from this poor guy by saying he's gay. It's crazy.

Summary: repulsive and exploitive.
Review: this didnt even deserve one star, but i had to put something. i think if james dean was to read this book, he would be appauled. in fact im sure hes turning over in his grave right now. for some unknown reason, the author focused his book on james' sexual experiences with men, but as i read this book i kept wondering, where is he getting this? not that he was bisexual or homosexual and so on, but this explicit and graphic details he delves into. i took it as fictitious interpretation and for lack of a better word, [...]. no one has the right to exploit someone like that and publish something like this, warp his private life like that. what stood out the most was the authors twisted writing ethics to create fictitious sexual escapades (because obviousy there is NO way this author could know that such specific and graphic things happend) its sad really. james dean wanted to be known for his acting, not his sexual preference, let alone a [...] book such as this. i love james dean and this was the most disheartening thing. pathetic.
