- Worth the read
As many books of this type I buy it because I want to find out more about the case or the person's life, like most people who buy the book. I found it interesting and intreaging. I learned a lot about George Reeves through this book and how people controled him in this book. I learned a lot about the case.

The only thing is that the very end of the book was a little slow. But don't let that stop you from buying the book. To find out about what happened in his life then buy it. To find out what happened in the case then...

- Hollywood Kryptonite
I found Hollywood Kryptonite to be a fantastic book. The photo section in itself was a thrill since I am a huge fan of the series. I had a difficult time putting the book down once I started reading it. I had been searching for this book to complete my Superman collection. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who may be a true George Reeves fan. He was and always will be THE SUPERMAN.

- Hollywood Kryptonite, George Reeves
I have not read the book yet, but I'm looking forward to reading about what happened to George Reeves. I thought the first book that I bought was going to be about what happened and it turned out to be a book on Hollywood in general.

- Man of Steel, Stolen Forever
This is an attempt to explain the events leading up to and surrounding the death of George Reeves, Superman. Several facts are given artist liberty to reach a targeted conclusion.....It's woth the read, however, don't expect any obvious conclusions. The Man of Steel's untimely death still remains one of Hollywood's ultimate mysteries never to be solved.

- Great Hollywood-Noir
If you liked LA Confidential, you'll find this book quite an enjoyable ride! Some reviews elsewhere bagged on the Noir-ish, hyped up language, but this subsides after the first few chapters. As a child, I had been told by my grandmother that George Reeves had shot himself and this placed a bit of a stigma on this hero of my youth. This book does a great job of showing George's behind-the-scenes life and provides a great back story to the big mystery . . . did he or didn't he? I had a pretty strong opinion prior to reading this but I found myself flip-flopping a few times during the course of the book. I have passed this one around to my wife and relatives and all have enjoyed it. Its an intersting look at Hollywood and the birth of TV and the subject matter is interesting enough to make this a great "beach book". Even Hollywood history is great escapism. The only disappointment is not being able to hold out hope for a different ending for my hero.
