A Good Book about Johnny Depp

It's a well written and comprehensive book about a great actor. It also has a lot of really nice photos.

Revised and updated

Perfectly timed for the latest 'Pirates of the Caribbean' blockbuster film is Johnny Depp: A Modern Rebel: a biography of the quirky actor whose good looks and lively adventures hide a rebellious young man whose drug-filled adolescence seemed unlikely to create a celebrity. From his volatile relationships and life to his evolving career and interest in independent, adventure-laden roles, is Johnny Depp: A Modern Rebel is revised and updated and comes packed with black and white and color photos.

fantastic

This book's format of Johnny Depp's life, movies and unique story is wonderful. I couldn't put it down. Each chapter is a movie title, showing how each part of his life changed during that movie experience. I didn't want to give it 5 stars, it deserves 10 stars!!!!

Johnny Depp: A modern Rebel

I thought this book was very well written. It was informative and the many photos were great. I have read other autobiographies and quite a few were not well written and could not keep my attention. This book was able to keep me wanting to read it to the end. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Johnny Depp.

Thoroughly good read

I loved the old edition of this book back in the nineties and was really excited to find out that it was being updated. It's now got all his new films and shows his transformation from Hollywood bad boy to family man. It's a really great book - it gives a thorough portrayal of his whole career in films as well as showing us his private life behind the screen. It's also a great read and made me itching to watch some of those old films like 'Ed Wood', as well as eager to see the forthcoming 'Finding Neverland'. The black and white film stills and pictures really complete this tribute to one of the finest actors of our time.
