SHINING BRIGHTLY !!!
This is a very interesting look at Jack's life from childhood on - including his friendships and how these friendships affected his life. I enjoyed this thoroughly, so much, that I am reading it a second time!

Nothing New Here & Somewhat Annoying
I would recommend Patrick McGiligan's biography because it has the research and detail one would expect of a biography.

Nothing New Here & Somewhat Annoying,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wild: The Biography of Jack Nicholson (Hardcover)
I would recommend Patrick McGiligan's biography because it has the research and detail one would expect of a biography. This book, (I assume written by an Englishman since it was published in England and uses words like "chum",etc) is a composite of what has already been published on Jack Nicholson. Its even balanced and focuses on seminal events in Nicholoson's life and his movies..What is very annoying about this book is the excessive description of the cultural context that surrounded Jack's 60's days...Way too much setting, frankly because there is not any new content here...If you don't know much about Jack, this is not a bad introductory piece....Oh, yes the other thing about this book is way too much (previously published) information on Warren Beatty, Roman Polanski, Marlon Brando, and Robert Evans...the writer goes into great details on the problems in their lives...not central to subject of this biography...
