5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute MUST for Fans of Steve McQueen!, 21 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel (Paperback)
It is a cliche' to write this, but this book is like glue you simply can't put it down!

It is is the DEFINATIVE account of the life and times of Steve McQueen detailing in great depth the 'Cooler Kings' rough childhood growing up in the Boys Republic as a child, to his days at the top of the Hollywood tree, and through to to his untimely death in 1980.

A book which is as deeply moving, as it is interesting and true. I found it so involivng that the details surrounding the build up to Steve's death had me choking back tears. The finest biography I've ever read. And a book I'll read again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding and Enthralling Read, 5 Aug 2002
By Ms. L. poole (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel (Paperback)
Whether you are a Steve Mcqueen fan or not this book is worth the read. From his childhood to fame and ultimate death this book was suprisingly an emotional rollercoaster from the first few pages and does not gloss over Mcqueens volatile dark side but you finish the book feeling empathy towards the ultimately untimely demise of such a wonderful actor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent biography of a superstar rebel, 5 Jun 2006
By Mr. Vasileios Marantos "Vassilis Marantos" (Athens Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel (Paperback)
I have read this biography through summer and I have to admit that it is an excellent and very well documented account of McQueen's life, the only annoying is that the author finds it necessary to underline that in every picture that McQueen starred was better than his costarrs and that is the reason that other actors avoided acting in the same films with him.
I disagree, as Newman was as good as McQueen was in Tower Inferno, and Huffman even better in Pappillon.
It seems that McQueen adopted a childish behaviour that helped him advance his ego and not his carreer. His drugs, cars and women lifestyle as it is described by the author made McQueen in my eyes seem like a lost boy...And maybe that is the best description for him.
You will enjoy this biography.
