Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Very detailed biography. The only thing I didn’t like was the authors obsession with sex. Also, it ended very abruptly. Basically he died. The end. Could have added a nicer ending for such a great actor and person. ( ) A very thorough account of the life of Jimmy Stewart. It discusses not only his films, but also the circumstances in his life surrounding the films. The author has evidently done his research well; he has provided a detailed sources section and often adds explanatory notes throughout the text. However, he could probably have used a proofreader: there were several glaring typographical errors such as "in vein" (in vain) and "staring" instead of starring, "riding" instead of "ridding" (as in "ridding the town of the bad guy"). Those errors alone were enough to drop it half a star for me, because things like that bother me. Otherwise, it was an excellent read, and now I am eager to go rent more Jimmy Stewart films to see the great man at work. no reviews | add a review
