Celebrity Death Certificates

Summary: A Walk Down Memory Lane
Review: For any baby boomer, this book is a walk down memory lane for all the folks who kept us clued to the television or entertained us in movie theaters during our growing-up years.

It is one of those books that you hate to admit to anyone that you just couldn't put it down. As you go from page to paget, each name on a death certificate sparks a memory and many times brings a smile.

The biography at the end is a help too. I am gald that they did not try and put each one of the same page as the death certificate. That would have been a distraction from the certificate itself.

Summary: FASCINATINGLY MORBID
Review: Mr. Steen takes you glimpsing into the origin of Hollywood personalities that have recently died and those deaths of long ago.

Frankly, it's riveting enough that once you start reading it-you can't put it down.

You find yourself poking through the private information contained in the death certificate and skimming through the bios and history of the deceased.

Can't wait for the sequel!

Summary: Save your money
Review: This extraordinary effort is far more then just a book of brief bios. This is a "tabletop" book that not only includes the bios BUT A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL DEATH CERTIFICATE! That alone is worth reading as it reveals much of the "personal" info re the deceased.

This book is a must have for ALL Hollywood celeb buffs that are also interested in the trivia surrounding the mystique of Hollywood and its movers and shakers.

I'm certain that the author has accumulated more then the stated amount of certificates, in this first printing, and I can hardly wait for upcoming volumes to help fill in my research library.

Review: What a waste of money. The copies are blurry and in many cases illegible. It would help if there was some kind of guide to tell you what the questions being answered are. Also don't rely on the short biographies at the end as there are mistakes.
