This was exactly the kind of autobiography I like best. Lots of stories showing lots of perspective I've never seen before. It was also very touching to read about Dante Basco's experiences with so many big star names as well as his hopes to help improve the world of his career for those with backgrounds like his.
The emotion of this book felt so raw and true. I loved reading Dante's poems and getting to see that part of his perspective. I'm glad I picked this book up even though I originally was only interested because I loved his roles as Zuko in Avatar the Last Airbender, it was enlightening to see how much more to him there was than that.

rating a memoir is fucking weird, and i want to make it clear that i'm not like rating dante's life story. i'm rating how amazing and inspirational this book is to me on a personal level, and as a writer.
3.5 i guess // This was a really sweet read. I've never watched any of his stuff besides Avatar but decided it'd be cool to read it anyways. And it was. He has a sorta steam-of-consciousness style, kinda poetry style (which.... makes a lot of sense since he's a poet) and it was really nice. He's an interesting guy and it's cool to hear his experience with being a non-white actor in Hollywood. Glad I read it.
*****3.5*****
Very quick read full of fun little anecdotes, rambled musings, and reflections on life. Some typos and grammatical errors that honestly did detract a little from the reading, but overall a solid read.

Dante's works has influenced my life so much, i do admire him a lot, and seeing his perspective and life helps to ground the idea of him i had in my head. In his memoir Dante explains his life and career, his iconic characters, and what we cannot see. His writing is surprisingly good and his poetry is something i was unaware of, but i'm actually grateful i found it. Anyway, the book was good.
