Excerpt: Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States (19811989) and the 33rd Governor of California (19671975). Born in Tampico, Illinois, Reagan moved to Los Angeles, California in the 1930s. He began a career as an actor, first in films and later television, appearing in 52 movie productions and gaining enough success to become a household name. Though largely a B film actor, some of his most notable roles are in Knute Rockne, All American and Kings Row. Reagan served as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and later spokesman for General Electric (GE); his start in politics occurred during his work for GE. Originally a member of the Democratic Party, he switched to the Republican Party in 1962. After delivering a rousing speech in support of Barry Goldwater's presidential candidacy in 1964, he was persuaded to seek the California governorship, winning two years later and again in 1970. He was defeated in his run for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 as well as 1976, but won both the nomination and election in 1980. As president, Reagan implemented new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economic policies, dubbed "Reaganomics", were aimed at controlling inflation and spurring economic growth through tax cuts, reduced business regulation, and reduced growth in government spending. In his first term he survived an assassination attempt, took a hard line against labor unions, and ordered military actions in Grenada. He was reelected in a landslide ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25433 ... Read more

EWAN MCGREGOR FANS
I ENJOYED THE BOOK A LOT, BEING A MCGREGOR FAN MYSELF,BUT I WOULD PREFER THAT IT HAD MORE INFO ON HIM AND NOT AS MUCH ON HIS FILMS AND THE PEOPLE IN THEM. OVER ALL, THE BOOK WAS GOOD AND HAD A LOT OF INTERESTING FACTS IN ITAND ANY EWAN MCGREGOR FAN WOULD AGREE WITH ME THAT HE IS PRETTY HOT IN THECOLOR PICTURES IN THE BOOK!

This book seems a little made up.
When I saw this book at the library, I checked it out right away, being a huge fan of Ewan.when I started reading it though, I had a different suprise.Some of the information kind of clashed with what the rest of thebook would say.Being an unauthorized biography, I can't help but wonder:was some of the information made up just for the book.Another thing thatkind of bothered me was instead of focusing on Ewan, the focus was more onthe plot of the movies, tv shows, and everything else that was going onaround him.I will say this though, the color photos in the center areperfect for any fan!

gettin to know ewan
very much for the ewan-worshipper. interesting facts on the movies ewan made and ewan's feelings on the movies he's made. a few pictures of ewan certainly for the EWAN-WORSHIPPER!! ... Read more

Small, Sweet, and Cute
Some days you just can't get through the day without a quick shot of Ewan McGregor.This little 2" x 2" book is perfect for stuffing in your purse or desk when you just can't get enough of the kilted kutie.Of course, nothing is new in the pages, just some juicy color photos of the Scottish phenomenon, but it's really for those who have to have the tiniest little book ever printed about Ewan McGregor.Too cute for it's own good.

Not much new.
Not much new information is given to the hard-core Ewan McGregor fan. It is a pre-teen fan book. I think it is a waste of money, you'll find the same informations searching the net. ... Read more
