Product Description

Beautifully illustrated with 75 photographs in full color, The Robert Pattinson Album by Paul Stenning is a breathtaking visual biography of one of the world’s most talked-about young actors. The hugely successful vampire romance Twilight was a box-office phenomenon, and Robert is that smash-hit film’s breakout star.

In the space of a few short years, the twenty-two-year-old Londoner has gone from amateur stage performer to full-blown Hollywood idol, and his staggering ascent is already the stuff of legend. The public first took notice when Robert appeared in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire but the role that would change his life forever was that of charismatic teenage vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight, the film adapted from author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling book series.

Twilight’s success has made Pattinson an icon to millions, swelling his obsessive fan base to overwhelming global proportions. Illustrated with a wealth of photographs; candid shots, film stills, and rarities, this book explores Robert’s childhood in Barnes, his first forays into theatre, and his early television roles. It details his thoughts on the making of Twilight, his passion for art and music, his feelings about sudden fame, and his plans for the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised! In a good way.., February 26, 2009

By	M. Johnston "Movie & Book Obsessed" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I pre-ordered this book a while ago and was told by a friend that it probably wouldnt be that good. But I decided to take a chance! And was I ever surprised!
The book is beautifully put together with nice big pictures, quotations and stories about him (growing up, modeling & acting). Something else I really liked about it is that it has (almost) every magazine cover/article pictures on a few pages which is nice because I dont own all the magazines. Its also not full of Twilight but has a few chapters about it and has some really beautiful pictures from the movie.
I will be telling all my friends to order this book its definatly worth the price :)

4.0 out of 5 stars A good choice for RPatz fans, March 8, 2009

By	Tina "library & information science student" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

Expect a photo album and less a biography when you read this book. The photos of this promising talent are good ones and will satisfy the Spunk Ransom admirer. It will be a good reminder of the beginning years of this rising star.
