This review is from: Brad & Jen: The Rise and Fall of Hollywood's Golden Couple (Mass Market Paperback)

I saw the other reviews for this product. People seemed truly outraged and disgusted by this book and had terrible things to say about the authors. To them, I ask "What did you expect?" This book is exactly what I thought it would be - a great deal of fluff and speculation about Brad, Jennifer and their lives together. What struck me about this book was how I could read over 200 pages and end up knowing so little. It seems to me that this is VERY typical of a certain kind of reportage (and I use the word advisedly). I find the whole celebrity fascination fascinating and this seemed to me an excellent specimen and case study. With all that said, the content of the book seemed remarkably superficial and vacuous.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy Book, March 22, 2005

I came across this book in Barnes and Noble the other day and I must say I was horrified. The title alone is enough to make we want to write a letter to US Weekly and ask why in the world they hired those writers. Anyone who thinks about buying this book should ask themselves two very important questions "Do I care?", "Should I care?" If you're somewhat intelligent your answers to both of those questions will be NO and you'll put the book back on the shelf and feel bad the rest of the day.

I wonder what kind of person revels enough in another's private anguish to buy this rubbish.
The authors and publishers should be ashamed of themselves.
