Summary: Gwyneth Paltrow WHO??
Review: As a long-time fan I had hope to find at least some new insight into Gwyneth's inner world that has not been published everywhere already. For the most part, this book is a collection of readily available information and photos gleaned from magazine articles and TV interviews. In spite of her youth, Gwyneth is in my opinion one of the most talented, versatile and naturally lovely actresses to appear in recent decades. She projects her characters with such reality and has incredible screen presence. I had hoped to learn more about her real-world off-screen character and motivations.

Summary: Gwyneth Puke-trow
Review: Couldn't agree more with roxie and Glenn...she is nepotism at its worst. She was given everything in life. She is a less-than-average mumbling, lisp-infected "actress." She is not attractive in face or figure (and has terrible posture). She is an icon of NOTHING and has done nothing to better the world. Her best role was dating Brad Pitt. Harvey Weinsteing put a lot of eggs in her basket and had to make sure she remained popular. That is one reason she is where she is. The other is her parents. If they weren't who they are, she would be serving you at your local Denny's...ok, maybe that's too beneath "Gwynnie"...she'd be your shampoo girl at the local hair salon...

Summary: Why?
Review: I agree with roxie52 on this one. Why people elevate actors and actresses to the position on role model... what have they done?? What has Paltrow done but ride Brad Pitts coat tails to fame and them dumped him! Not that Pitt is any great talant (50 million for a wedding band lawsuit) These people are so good at pretending to be someone else, because they have no clue who they really are. Paltrow is someone who has never had to worry about anything in her life, except if her shoes matched her dress. Are we really idolizing the person or there money and fame? I read this book just to get some insight into Paltrow's life. Rich kid, rich parents that's about the whole story. Save yourself a few dollars and buy a good novel instead!

Review: I disagree with the other reviewers. The pictures are breathtaking, complimenting the author's keen insights into Paltrow's exciting life. The book is also beautifully designed, providing the ideal forum for Gwyneth's stunning good looks. I love this book. It will always have a special place on my bedside table.

Summary: A Bio About What???
Review: I saw this book recently at a bookstore,and I just have to comment--what has Paltrow done to warrent a biography, other than make movies? I am amazed at the zeal in which we worship people whose only claim to fame is that they've made a movie, or modeled lipstick in a magazine. As an actor, her talent is average at best, so the book can't even harp on that. Sorry to Paltrow fans, but this kind of stuff really grates on me. Please go and read bios of people who have made an impact in our world, who have done something great, novel, overcome hardships, etc...

Summary: Solved the mystery of Lady Viola
Review: This book is super! It told me all I ever wanted to know about Gwyneth! She is so rad! This is one of the best celebrity bios I've read. It was well written, splendidly researched, and beautifully highlighted by sparkling photographs. Even if you don't love Gwyneth when you start this book, you will when you're done. I love it!
