Lovely tribute This is a beautiful book, filled with striking photos of the late Heath Ledger...the first few times I went through it, I felt a sadness wash over me...we only have images of him now....still hard to accept his death....the book chronicles his life and how he lived in the moment, not the past or the future...he accomplished so much in his 28 years, and this book is a perfect testament to that...
Well worth a read. I really loved this book. It gives you a lot of detail on Heath as a person and his life. There are also lots of amazing pictures of Heath included. He was such a talented actor and this book is definately well worth a read. The author has done a great job and this is a very well written tribute.
Could be interesting but... This book was interesting to read for a Heath Ledger fan. Unfortunately, it could be better. Throughout the entire book, the author skips around to different points in Heath's life. The author focuses on Heath's co-stars rather than Heath's work many times and the book ends pretty suddenly (although that was true of Heath's life). On a positive note, there are many good photographs to help document Heath's life, but two photos that are inappropriate for a book.
If you are a true Heath Ledger fan, you will still enjoy the book, but do use some caution.
Ledger pic bio I am a big Heath fan and I enjoyed this book. It was full of great big glossy photos. It had good info and was generally positive. One thing that I didn't care for was it went into detail of what happened in each of his films, if your a Ledger fan, you already know, so kind of a waste of time and it said many of his films were not hits, which only you can judge that but all in all I am glad I bought it for my collection.
Unreliable shipping system I ordered this book and the way Amazon handled their shipping system had no integrity. UPS said they made a mistake and delivered to the wrong address 3 times, yet they never apologized, nor called me back as they said they would. They also asked me to drive 30 minutes to pick it up if I wanted the item that bad. Amazon.com was horrible handling the complaint. Therefore, I returned the item and purchased it at the Borders. It is not worth to waste 2 weeks on phone, driving back and forth trying to find the package that was supposed to be here in two days, not in two weeks. Shopping with Amazon? NEVER AGAIN. They don't even know how to say sorry for the inconvenience. The shipping is the responsibitly of Amazon and I paid to them directly, so at least they should have said "sorry!
