Customer Reviews

I liked the book and I like Gwynnie - sorry, haters!

Sorry, but I just don't agree at all with the hateful comments about Gwyneth Paltrow. Gwyneth doesn't get tattooed, steal other women's husbands, collect orphans, wear a vial of blood around her neck, get out of a car sans underwear, or shave her head in public. She doesn't wipe greasy hands on designer dresses. She doesn't get busted for DUI. She hasn't been married five or six times and all that other nonsense. Oooooooooooh....that's so boring. Gwyneth is a lady, a natural beauty who doesn't have to be constantly in the tabloids. She has two beautiful children.....and I think her husband is adorable. She and her family are nice and normal. Sorry if that isn't exciting enough for you Paltrow-haters. She was wonderful in "Shakespeare In Love", by the way.

Solved the mystery of Lady Viola

In Fukuoka Japan, Gwyneth is not yet so popular. I wanted to know more about her but it was difficult to find anything about her until I found this book. I really enjoyed reading it and recommend to others. It provided me what I wanted to know about her. Before reading it, I kept wondering why an American could use British accent so beautifully like she did in "Shakespere in Love". The author wrote that she was "blessed to have been born with an ear for accents". Thanks to the book, I could solve "the mystery".

Jimy in Love

This book is super! It told me all I ever wanted to know about Gwyneth! She is so rad! This is one of the best celebrity bios I've read. It was well written, splendidly researched, and beautifully highlighted by sparkling photographs. Even if you don't love Gwyneth when you start this book, you will when you're done. I love it!

Gorgeous Gwyneth

I disagree with the other reviewers. The pictures are breathtaking, complimenting the author's keen insights into Paltrow's exciting life. The book is also beautifully designed, providing the ideal forum for Gwyneth's stunning good looks. I love this book. It will always have a special place on my bedside table.
