Mel Gibson

"I get the impression that the book's author, Keith McKay, did not speak to Mr. Gibson personally as there are no direct quotes in the book. The book does include quotes about Mr. Gibson from other people he has worked with as well as quotes from Mr. Gibson written in other people's articles. This is a good picture book but not much info on Mr. Gibson's personal life. If you are Mel Gibson fan, I would recommend this book. If you are looking for more details on Mr. Gibson, stay tune for the authorized biography .."-------The book's Author,Keith McKay, is (was) my first Cousin. Keith was a gifted and multi-talented Writer/Musician/Artist,gone too soon. Keith would have only written under the auspices (guidelines) given by those supervising him on said book, (or any other) , with expressed permission from Mr. Gibson etc. (I dont know this for sure, but, knowing my Cousin,I'm pretty certain.)We all know very good books don't need (necessarily) "first-hand" info to be valid and important or true in content. I believe,if Keith spoke to Mr. Gibson "live", it would have reflected in the book. If Keith's book says it's an Authorized biography, then it is:) We are so glad you enjoyed my Cousin's book. Thank-you for your kind post. And though,I don't know above details for sure, I think they probably apply. Knowing Cousin as we did:)P.S. Young writer's ought think of picking up some of Keith's books,if simply to be aware of keen and insightful writing styles:)God Bless:)
