نقد و بررسی

Andrew Morton's earlier books forever changed the world's perceptions of Princess Diana, Tom Cruise, and Madonna. In this spellbinding unauthorized biography he draws upon far-reaching original interviews and research to show listeners the wild excesses of Angelina Jolie's youth and her remarkable work with children, poverty, and disasters through the UN. Bronson Pinchot's narration is evenly paced and bland but not distractingly so as he details her parents' bitter relationship, which runs as a thread throughout most of the biography. Listeners also gain insights into Angelina's impulsive marriages to Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton and what is going on in her partnership with Brad Pitt and their six children. B.C.E.

The subject of No. 1 New York Times best-selling celebrity biographer Morton's latest book is Oscar Award-winning superstar Angelina Jolie. Unauthorized but seemingly well researched, it covers all the bases of her life to date, including growing up in a broken home; her estrangement from her father, actor Jon Voight; her drug addictions; her highly publicized romantic relationships; her humanitarian work; and marriage and motherhood with Brad Pitt. Morton's narrative is peppered with quotes from friends and other unnamed sources as well as "experts" who delve into Jolie's psychological makeup. Actor/Audie Award winner Bronson Pinchot's narration is smooth, low-key, and nicely paced. This will be a popular choice for biography collections.--Phillip Oliver, Univ. of North Alabama Lib., Florence
