I didn't know too much about Bruce Lee before picking-up this book however, I definitely learned a lot after finishing it! I was keen to read that Bruce was enthusiastic about his work, and wanted to learn from as many individuals as possible. I also loved how Linda spoke of his personal life as well, and his ability to separate both aspects in a professional manner. The pictures added an element of imagination, as I was able to see Bruce in combat with certain individuals, or conversing with ot

Great book complete with pictures. The life of Bruce Lee is interesting and this book is written by the person who knew him well. Linda Lee, wife of Bruce Lee tells his story with love and compassion and also truthful insight.
Skimming thru piles of organized mess i came across this dusty book stepped on neglected by my careless ass. Henceforth i ruminate and organize my readings.

Recommends it for:
bruce lee fans who want more than his films
i read this a while back when i was ridiculously obsessed with bruce lee (which i still am, but in a closeted fashion). this book was frickin' awesome as his wife Linda told his story. it had its heart felt moments where Linda detailed the racial hardships of their relationship when it first came to light for their families but plenty of funny ones too and it broke my heart every time she mentioned that 'her' spaghetti was his favorite dish..aside from that...this book touched on a lot of person

When I was younger, Bruce Lee was the first person who became an "idol" in my life. I was totally entranced by his seemingly "super hero"-like martial arts skills, and his impressive physical training. I found this book to be an insightful, and interesting look, into the life of perhaps the most important man ever to perform/promote martial arts in contemporary society. Even decades after his death, his influence is just as profound as when he was alive. Linda Lee is able to convey insights into

I really enjoyed this book. You learn a lot from the perspective of his wife. It has family photos and stories you wouldn't expect. It humanizes Bruce Lee and it makes you admire him (and his journey through life) that much more. You also hear some of his philosophies, some of which have really stuck with me.

This is one of those big paperbacks that has too many pictures and not enough story. But it was a good quick read nonetheless.
"I Am Bruce Lee" Doc is the better bet.

I think this book too interesting. Through this book, I know about the history of Bruce Lee
One of my favourite book on Bruce Lee, showing the more human side of the great man. Well worth a read if you want to know about the man behind the martial artist
Very nice book.
