Corey Haim was a Canadian actor, best known for a 1980s Hollywood career as a teen idol. He starred in a number of films such as Lucas, Silver Bullet, Murphy's Romance, License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream. His best-known role was alongside Corey Feldman in The Lost Boys, which made Haim a household name.
Known as The Two Coreys, the duo became 1980s icons and went on to star in seven further movies together, later starring in the A&E reality show The Two Coreys.
Haim's early success led to money and fame, and he began using drugs by fifteen. For three years in the late 1980s, Haim was the most famous teenager in the world. He had difficulties breaking away from his experience as a teen actor, and was troubled by drug addiction throughout his later career.
This book takes a look into the late actors life, career and the legacy of work he left behind. Featuring collated interviews from articles, press clippings and publications ‘License to Dream’ looks at the life of a talented young actor who left the world far too soon.
License to Dream The Life of Corey Haim eBook Saurav Dutt
Disappointing.This book provides descriptions of all the films of Haim. It lacks information concerning his early years prior to becoming a celebrity and his personal life as a celebrity (such as girlfriends and engagement to Nicole Eggert). Dutt does not provide enough insight into Haim being discovered by a Los Angeles agent or his management. In fact, Dutt omits the name of his agent, handlers, etc. Perhaps this is due to the molestation accusations that emerged during the filming of the Two Coreys and Corey Feldman's later disclosure that the perpetrator is a powerful movie mogul. I was disappointed in the overall writing of the book. It is poorly edited and included numerous punctuation, grammatical, and spelling errors (example: misspelling Haim as Hame). Quotes are poorly sourced (there is not a bibliography) and some include sentences that read as though a word or two had been lost in the author's transcription. Overall, my opinion of the book is that it was hurriedly written and published in the wake of Haim's death. Haim's mother wrote on her son's website that the family was not involved in this book. I hope that she writes a book to inform the fans of the full story of her son.

License to Dream The Life of Corey Haim eBook Saurav Dutt Reviews
At times boring and had to force myself to finish. There are a lot of grammatical errors. Also some of the details are incorrect. At times it is very hard to follow the storyline.
Love this book
Corey Haim's memory deserves better than this. The author's constant (and incorrect) use of the dash-is-really-annoying and his grasp of English sentence structure and punctuation is tenuous at best. I'm not sure if his figures of speech are supposed to be funny "prim Madonna" instead of "prima donna" for example. One has to re-read every other sentence in an attempt to understand what is being said.
The least anyone that took writing a biography about Corey Haim could have done was write a better book to respect the belated actor. The grammatical errors were ATROCIOUS. I'm no writer or anything, but I couldn't even read the book without thinking a kid had written it! I don't understand how this book got published without anyone editing it. I grew up with "The Coreys" and like so many others was shocked about Haim's death. I was interested in his biography because I never knew the whole story of his drug use and life. This book has alot of material, however the way the sentences are strung together, many of them incomplete sentences and silly misspellings, makes it a disgrace to read. I read Corey Feldman's biography which was excellent, and learned more about Corey Haim in that then I did with this. Waste of money.
I got more information from Corey Feldman's recent book than this one- this goes thru Corey's career but doesn't do much on explaining WHY he turned to drugs and what led him down such a dark path. Also I cannot STAND misspellings in books. How do editors not catch those things? I say give Corey Feldman's book a chance instead.
Great read if you liked Corey Haim. He was a teen idol for me. Some parts jump back and forth, but I great appreciate what the author was trying to do. Corey Haim will be greatly missed. On a huge side note...Corey Haim's destructive behavior was obviously caused by the trauma he endured as a child star. Praying the perpetrators are brought to light. Corey Haim deserves justice.
That's number one. I just thought I point that out...
As much as I want to be fair in this critique, I thought the book was largely flawed. Yes, it was informative, eye-opening and generally unbiased, but I also felt it was rushed the grammar, spelling and punctuation were notoriously wrong throughout, and the overall feeling that I got from this bio was that it was a rush-job. Another reviewer has already pointed out how Haim's name was misspelled several times. The author has been inventive, spelling it "Ham," or "Hame" or "Hami." That, to me, is just plain careless!
And again, the feel of the book is rushed. Most biographies should be reflective, analytical, slow-paced--so that readers can fully digest what is being written. It's a lot to try to explain a person's life to someone else, and to make sense of the bad choices and ill-advised decisions that person has made. That said, I came away understanding Haim a little more--but only a little. I got the Reader's Digest version of understanding him. I felt short-changed. But I do think the author remained respectful of the late actor. As challenging as it may be for some people to do so, Dutt remained sympathetic towards Haim, and I appreciate that. The last thing I'd need is for this largely flawed book to start celebrity-bashing.
But, I digress... Overall, I give this book three stars because as much as it made me like Corey Haim more and understand him a little better, I also wanted so badly to edit the book myself and even wished at times that someone else would read this and go, "Oh man, I've got to write a better book for this man. This just doesn't do him justice!"
