Title: Alexander the not-so-great
Product review: I've read several James Dean books and this is by far the worst book on the actor I've ever read in terms of its content and style. It seems to me that the author was on a mission to "prove" that James Dean was gay. However, there's a lot of conjecture in the book, making his work highly suspect. People who KNEW James Dean considered Dean experimental or bisexual. The emphasis and vulgar description on Dean's purported homosexual affairs is written like a trashy gay novel. Much of the rest of the information in this book is common knowledge to any Dean fan.For great books on James Dean's life, I recommend John Gilmore's "Live Fast-Die Young: My Life With James Dean" and Jay Hyams "James Dean: Little Boy Lost"
