Angelina Jolie: A Biography

By Kathleen Tracy

Book Overview

Angelina Jolie has understandably created a mystique in the eyes of the public. A rare beauty and skilled actress, she has already earned an Emmy, Golden Globe, and Academy award. Her unconventional personal life, however, has consistently drawn as much attention as her acting skills. Over the past decade, fans have watched her evolve from Hollywood's rebellious wild child - infamous for her bold tattoos and shocking two-year marriage to actor Billy-Bob Thornton - to a mother and committed human rights advocate. Together she and Brad Pitt have adopted three international children, sparking an adoption trend among other celebrities. Best known for portraying strong, edgy women in film, Jolie exudes her own strength off-screen as she gracefully balances the pressures of family life, humanitarian efforts, and a flourishing career.

Pretty good

I liked this book, it contained great pictures and a lot of information.I don't give it 5 stars because I don't think the author really checked if the facts was true, because some things wasn't. And it was too much facts about other people in it. If you really are a fan you should buy it, you will love the pictures.

Good

okay the book was very well written and the facts and every thing was awesome but I wish it would of told more about Angelina's feelings and thoughts. There is a lot of pictures in the book and they are very nice. I love Angelina Jolie and the book gives you a lot of trival things about her. I loved the pictures of her in high school that was cool. The only two things that werent good was it didn't show her feelings and thougths and of course it is not up to date. It says nothing about Her and Billy Bob spliting and abopting Maddox but it is a little older for that. Good book
