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".

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.

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.

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!

this is a compilation of magazine articles and offers no new insight into the person behind the image. moreover, the book is so poorly researched even the name of a Vanity Fair editor, which anyone can check on the masthead, is misspelled. Flip through it at a store if you must. Otherwise, pass.

As a fan of Gwyneth, this book is old news. There is no new insight to the person she has become, merely cut and pasted tired sound bite clips. The photos have all been published a thousand times, and a large portion to the book is dedicated to summarizing movies of hers that I'd already seen numerous times. If you've heard of Gwyneth Paltrow, this book will bore you.

To be honest,I don't find Gwyneth Paltrow even vaguely interesting as a human being.She has no discernible political or social views,does no charity work,and seems completely vapid,shallow and stuck-up.This book does nothing to change this impression.I didn't buy it hoping it would though-the fact is,I just think she's BEAUTIFUL,and the promise of 35 pictures convinced me I had to buy it.I was especially hoping for pics of her when she was younger,with her hair long and naturally dark blonde.There are a few b&w's like that,but they are of EXTREMELY poor quality.So,on that basis,I do NOT reccomend this book.Maybe most will find my reasoning dumb,but there you have it.

Funny I thought I was the only one who noticed she lisps!!

And yes she is the poster child for 'Nepotism'

I saw this book recently at a bookstore,and I just have to comment--what has Paltrow done to warrent a biography, other than make movies? I am amazed at the zeal in which we worship people whose only claim to fame is that they've made a movie, or modeled lipstick in a magazine. As an actor, her talent is average at best, so the book can't even harp on that. Sorry to Paltrow fans, but this kind of stuff really grates on me. Please go and read bios of people who have made an impact in our world, who have done something great, novel, overcome hardships, etc...
