Format:Paperback
This book is excellent to find out how Bruce Lee thought in battle, and how he fought through life to become the best Jeet Kune Do artist in the world, ever. Once youve picked up this book you'll find it taking up all your spare time, though i would only recommend this to dedicated Bruce Lee fans and who have read his other books and watched his movies otherwise you wont have a clue on what he's talking about. Overall a well written book & good use of diagrams.

A Peek into Lee
3 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
This collection of correspondence gives the reader a chance to peek into the mind and life of Bruce Lee. We get to tag along on his first trip to the US since his birth, his friendships, his marriage, his children, what he thought of the jet set, how the dog was eating, father-son bonding, etc. His heart went into every word, as his hand interpreted the flow of his mind.
Bruce's widow, Linda Emery Lee Cadwell, mentions in one of the forwards that until the last year of his life, Bruce didn't have enough money to make excessive long distance phone calls. I'd hate to sound selfish, but, lucky for us.

the real Bruce Lee....
25 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
I thought this book offered a completely different perspective of Bruce Lee and offered quality reading into the personal life of a famous martial artist. His letters were very honest, thought-provoking, and genuine from beginning to end. There was one very short and disturbing letter towards the end of the book which, in my opinion, was a significant clue as to why he passed so early and I hope other readers can understand this clue as well.
John Little did an extraordinary job of presenting the letters in order and importance as with all of his books on Bruce Lee. Highly recommended!

Another view of the man
7 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
This book provides another view of the legendary Bruce Lee. I really enjoyed reading his thoughts on the martial arts, his work (film and books) and his family. The letters to Linda showed how much he loved his wife and children. I know this is part of her life too and she may want to keep it private, but I would have liked to see some of the letters she wrote back to Bruce.
