I first noticed John Belushi when I was about 15 years old. I was watching Saturday Night Live and the Star Trek parody with John as Captain Kirk came on, and Belushi nailed the impersonation and it was so funny it made me choke on the ham sandwich I was eating. After that Saturday Night Live (it wasn’t SNL yet) became something to watch and John’s performances were stand out from the killer bees, the samurai, the diner cheeezborger cook, all were skits I wanted to see.

After reading Judy Belushi's book "Samurai Widow" I couldn't resist following up with this book, especially since I found a copy used on Amazon for $5.00! This will take awhile since I'm currently reading a couple of other books, but the format of this book lends itself to skipping around at my leisure. Also, the photos are great to look at!

Finally someone tells his story correctly. Like sitting in a room and listening to his loved ones describe the great comedian.

Best Belushi biography out there. Tons of great photos and stories. It really gives you a feel for who he was, and what he was like as a person, not just a genius performer.

This book sat on my self for two years. I got it as a Christmas present and never picked it up because Belushi was before my time. But the layout of the pages, a slew of people from John's life, recounting who he was, what he did, where he started and how he'll be remembered, was the best way to get me to feel like I wanted to know him. Truly a tragic story to a man with so much talent.

This book really made me appreciate the art of biographies. Before reading it, I had no idea who John Belushi was (which is hard enough to believe), but I was soon attached to his story. I love this book.

Much better than the Woodward book, "Wired." This book focuses on his legacy and less on the tabloid details of his last days. Excellent book for any fan!
