Warning! Beep!...
I'm not going to lie to you. Reading this book, I felt like a real ballerina boy, head stuffed with cream puffs and dandylions in my hair. I said I wasn't going to lie. If you have this book on your bookshelf, you may pursue the "Greek love." No lie. You may want to have sex with another man (unless you are a woman, in which case it is fine, not that it's not fine the other way, but you know what I mean).

This bildungsroman follows young Pitt (Pitt the Younger) from his carefree days in the corn fields of Iowa to desinger satin sheets and Jennifer Aniston's tang. I don't want to give too much away, but here are some of my favorite bits:

*Brad turning to acting after a boring two-years as Asst. Deputy State Comptroller of Iowa.

*Hard drinking, sweet loving.

*In Brad's debut (Thelma and Louise) he actually suggested they ride off the cliff at the end.

*Harrowing dance with heroin culimnates with near-fatal OD outside of the Viper Room.

*Really bald.

Good readable text accurate info and good pictures
This book is well illustrated and gives the available info on Brad's life in a readable format, and a decent size.Could benefit from an index.Some of the pictures I have not seen elsewhere.It is now a bit out ofdate, and some of the stuff mentioned as future projects has not in factmaterialised (whatever happened to the idea of Brad playing General Custerfor example?That would have been fun!)The best of the Brad Pitt books Ihave seen so far. ...

Finally, the truth !!!!
This book really tells it like it is, finally !!!This is a most troubled screwed up woman, who has a great publicist that she pays big time.Example:When the publicity came out about her incentuous relationship with her brother, her publicist has her marry Billy Bob Thorton to take the attention off the the relationship with her brother.It worked.Then she dumps Thorton (who wasn't worth keeping anyway and she never really loved).And oh my, what a wonderful "earth mother".She is so loudly praised for her being an ambassador or whatever the hell she does in other lands and trust me, she has an agenda for herself in doing that.This woman cares about no one but herself.She is totally narcissistic (Yes, look it up in the dictionary if you know not what it means).I'm sure I will get a lot of flack from this review but as far as I'm concerned, this book tells it right.Even Morton's new book is not as revealing as this one.I loved reading this book.For the first time, someone really tells the truth and behold, Angelina is just another totally f***ed up woman, who albeit is physically beautiful and at most points can act, who in the end, will end up dying alone, wondering what happened.Poor thing . . .

Brangelina--Halperin
I really enjoyed this book.I have read reviews that knock Halperin for adding personal comments or maybe that he talked more about himself than Pitt and Jolie.However, I thought Halperin's additional personal comments only added to the understanding of each situation he injected them into.I thought the book flowed and was an easy read.My only regret was he talked so little about Pitt.Mind you Jolie is VERY entertaining on many levels, but I would have enjoyed reading about Pitt's childhood and rise to success more than Halperin did...even if his childhood was "like the Clevers".

Too Much Angie, not enough Brad and Brangelina
I think the author mistitled this book.It should have been an unauthorized story of Angelina Jolie.There are very few chapters that Pitt is even mentioned in.I also didn't think some of the author's so-called undercover work should have been included.Why go undercover in a mental hospital years after Angie stayed there for a couple of days?It didn't add anything to the book at all.His undercover work regarding "sibs" was also unneccesary, adding nothing, and was disgusting to boot.Overall, I found the book to be just a re-hash of everything we have already heard about Angie and certainly not anything new or "untold" as he claims in the title.

The art of manipulation.
This book is about Angelina. It's all insinuation and rumors without anything substantial. If she is as great of a manipulator of her image and the public as the author says she is -- the author has learned from the best. He has written a lengthy gossip piece without offering anything factual. He shows himself standing in front of the psychiatric unit where she was committed and he allegedly infiltrated to get the goods on her-- yet he admits he didn't actually find out anything. He NEVER finds out anything. He relates third party stories and hearsay by people who often never even met her. The book doesn't even have many pictures. A very shallow biography indeed.

Mediocre biography containing little info not in other works
This book has a rather cheap and tacky format, with few pictures, and those not the ones likely to appeal to fans.Some of the text is rather snide, in a subtle way, and there is little acknowledgement of the depthsof Brad Pitt's character.It would be hard to guess from this book thathere we have an actor who is intelligent, subtle and talented. It is alsoout of date, ending with Seven, and still has him with Gwyneth Paltrow. Abetter buy is "Brad Pitt - the rise to Stardom", which at leasthas a good range of pictures, although it is also rather out of date now. ... Read more

Precisely What I Expected
I saw the other reviews for this product.People seemed truly outraged and disgusted by this book and had terrible things to say about the authors.To them, I ask "What did you expect?"This book is exactly what I thought it would be - a great deal of fluff and speculation about Brad, Jennifer and their lives together.What struck me about this book was how I could read over 200 pages and end up knowing so little.It seems to me that this is VERY typical of a certain kind of reportage (and I use the word advisedly).I find the whole celebrity fascination fascinating and this seemed to me an excellent specimen and case study.With all that said, the content of the book seemed remarkably superficial and vacuous.

HA HA HA OHHHH MY.....
I piked up this book after seeing John Stewart "Review" it on the Daily Show. It's funny only because the author takes it so seriously, when it is clearly so ridiculous.

Deplorable
I wonder what kind of person revels enough in another's private anguish to buy this rubbish.
The authors and publishers should be ashamed of themselves.

(To comment on this item one must check at least 1 star, unfortunately.)

Lousy Book
I came across this book in Barnes and Noble the other day and I must say I was horrified. The title alone is enough to make we want to write a letter to US Weekly and ask why in the world they hired those writers. Anyone who thinks about buying this book should ask themselves two very important questions "Do I care?", "Should I care?" If you're somewhat intelligent your answers to both of those questions will be NO and you'll put the book back on the shelf and feel bad the rest of the day. ... Read more
