Before picking up this story, I knew next-to-nothing about Bruce Lee. However, this is a fascinating (though short) story about a uniquely talented man. It was amazing to learn that Bruce's father was an established opera singer (what a dichotomy between opera and martial arts). One of the things I like about Hourly History is they usually use quotes from the person highlighted (to open the chapters). This gives the reader insight into the way that person thought.
Bruce Lee led a full and eventful life in his 32 years. One can only feel for Bruce's wife, who lost her husband and son when they were reaching for the pinnacle of stardom. Bruce was revolutionary in so many aspects. I was stunned to learn about his successes in cha-cha dancing, boxing, martial arts, and the movie set. This book explains the long shadow Bruce Lee leaves, even after death. This is a wonderful reading experience; I was finished before I realized it.
