Readers of this "unauthorized" look at Nicholson's life might not walk away with a definitive sense of the man or his personal side, but they will get a comprehensive review of his varied and often hectic film career to date. Most interesting when it reviews Nicholson's early career, the book catalogs behind-the-scenes accounts of works in progress and cites everything from the groovy ( Psyche Out , The Trip ) to the famous ( Easy Rider , One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ) to the blockbuster ( The Shining , Batman ) to the sublime ( Chinatown , Ironweed ). As one of the entertainment industry's most notorious and celebrated figures, Nicholson has nonetheless kept a low profile. A book like this reminds us why he is so sought after, well paid, and respected. Readers looking for insider gossip will be disappointed. For most film collections.
