Review

Let me start by saying that this book is only about 4 cm by 4 cm and the pictures would not make up a very large poster if you cut them all out and stuck them on a piece of cardboard. For some, that will be the only disappointing thing about this pocket sized book. I was expecting a full sized book with large glossy photos.

There are some pictures from Taylor’s early movies right up to his current fame from the Twilight series. The earlier pictures won’t do much to satisfy the appetites of the tweens used to drooling of Lautner’s buffed abs as he is pretty much just a child in these ones.

The biggest plus about this book is also its downfall, the size. It is small enough to keep a tome of Taylor in your handbag for a quick fix if you can’t get through the day without seeing Lautner’s six pack.
