Editorial Reviews
From the New York Times
With Biography of a Superhero, Stephanie Leach solidifies her place among America's top history writers. This time, Leach tackles the history of our nation's favorite son, Vegas Lancaster. Leach tackles such important questions as: How many women has Vegas actually slept with? And, how many buffalo wings could Vegas eat in one hour? She debunks Vegas myths (such as his supposed lust for the souls of the innocent) and analyzes Vegas legend and lore. This biography is certainly one of the top five books written about the most influential man of the 21st century. Whether you are one of the many who love Vegas, or one of the few who only like him a whole lot, this book is a must read.

Meh. It's OK.

I love..., August 9, 2017
Reviewer:scranton_valloner88 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
I love Vegas. I love Vegas. I love Vegas. I LOVE VEGAS!!!


Inaccurate, August 9, 2017
Reviewer:jemord114 (Las Vegas, Nevada) - See all my reviews
For a supposed history specialist, Leach manages to flood her book with a great deal of historical inaccuracy. Take, for example, Leach's writings on Mr. Lancaster's middle school years. What makes her think that he would be going by the nickname "Vegas" while still living in Las Vegas?

I'm better!, August 9, 2017
Reviewer:masterkbob (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
I'm sick of hearing that Vegas is the most influential man of the 21st century. I'm a theology professor! I was the Hawk!

He's a prick., August 9, 2017
Reviewer:rainbow_fae (Somewhere in California, I guess) - See all my reviews
Most people don't know it, but Vegas is a jerk! I spent a couple years worth of time and effort helping Vegas with his stupid website and his stupid videos, and what do I get for it? As soon as he gets the first hint of fame, I never hear from him again! I hate him!!!
Good book, though.

She took half my stuff., August 9, 2017
Reviewer:YoSmitty01 (Some rainforest, South America) - See all my reviews
Don't buy this book. It's not that I don't think Vegas is awesome, but that stupid bitch author ruined my life.

I miss the old Vegas., August 9, 2017
Reviewer:schmalls (Erial, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
Vegas was so cool before he sold out.

Lacking in puns, August 9, 2017
Reviewer:magee314 (San Jose, Costa Rica) - See all my reviews
It's clear to me that the author is just trying to "leech" off of Vegas's fame. You'd be better off buying Vegas's autobiography, "I Sure am Great."

Superb!, August 9, 2017
Reviewer:smleach (Collingswood, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This is the best book I've ever read! I give it a billion stars! Everyone should buy two! And YoSmitty01 should pay his freaking child support.

Unconvincing, August 9, 2017
Reviewer:azn_equality_guy (New York City, New York) - See all my reviews
This book, along with Vegas's recent marraige to Elisha Cuthbert, support the claims in Vegas's autobiography that he is a heterosexual. I'm still not convinced.

Incomplete, August 9, 2017
Reviewer:eaglepride5 (Cherry Hill, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
You know, this wasn't a bad book, but it's missing a story from when Vegas was sixteen. He got this fat Puerto Rican chick pregnant, and then forced her to have an abortion. When his uncle found out about it, he had a heart attack and died. It's a true story, I swear to God.
