This review is from: Johnny Depp: The Illustrated Biography (Paperback)
Hi everyone. This biography on Johnny Depp by Nick Johnstone was really, really awesome! I enjoyed the book tremendously and blew through it in about 3-4 days! I loved it so much! If you are a fan of Jonhhy Depp, this is the best book you can buy on him. This book is filled with tons of information on his life, personal stuff, and of course his fabolous career. There is also alot of very nice color photographs in the book. I definitely recommend this book to every Johnny Depp fan. He is one of my top-favorite actors. Awesome job on the book, Nick Johnstone! Johnny, you rock! Mell =-)

This review is from: Johnny Depp: The Illustrated Biography (Paperback)
What a great find, very informative about Johnny's life from start to present. It begins from his beginnings and runs through 2006 so it has tons of info about how he got his start, what he was like as a child, teen years as well as his music passion and his moveis career. Lots of really great pictures as well.

He's lucky it's about Johnny,
By
This review is from: Johnny Depp: The Illustrated Biography (Paperback)
The only reason this gets fours stars instead of one or two is it has pictures of Johnny. First of all, the photo they picked for the cover makes Johnny look like he's on crack. The first time I picked it up, I found an error. The book has a print from the movie The Brave, and the caption says it's from Don Juan. If it was really an intimate look at Johnny, I would think it would tell the relationship between Don Juan and The Brave -- and Marlon Brando. It sometimes has its timeline off, also. I'm not fond of prints from movies unless they're really crisp. These are not.
