BOOK REVIEW:
When a person says a picture meant a thousand words, he or
she isn't kidding.
From the writers of the popular celebrity magazine, "People"
comes this 143 publication aptly entitled "People: Before
They Were Stars".
Covering the stories of familiar famous faces such as Tom
Cruise, Brad Pitt, Madonna to Britney Spears, this is an easy-to-digest-perfect-for-the-train-ride
book to lug around and indulge. You might know Julia Roberts
as the Pretty Woman but you sure didn't know she sells running
shoes before Hollywood beckons. Or the fact that George Clooney
spent 10 years doing small parts before landing in ER. How
about a cheesy-looking photo of a young Keanu 'Neo' Reeves
baring his nipple to cheer up your day?
These
plus a lot more snippets of today's hottest Hollywood stars
and whole chunks of photos (from baby photos to school shots)
filled this publication to the brim.
Sometimes, there isn't a need for words. Pictures can do the
work.
CHOICE XCERPT:
“After Owen (Wilson) gave a reading of a script he had
cowritten in college to producer James L. Brooks, he asked
Brooks, "So what do you think?" Wilson told the
Chicago Sun-Times. He said "It was the worst one I ever
heard in my whole life."
VERDICT:
Strictly
for fans who love to know more insights of Hollywood stars.
Apparently, not a good selection on your book shelf to impress
your high-brow guests. It will however be a popular piece
in the office or among your schoolmates.
