Summary: Patchwork of existing articles
Comment: I agree with inpip below, that this is an extremely dissatisfying and, in places, a factually inaccurate book. Nicole Kidman was never consulted by the biographers and all that she says or does in the book has been gleaned from articles in Vogue, Variety, etc. Being an admirer of Nicole's unsettling and haunting work in Eyes Wide Shut, The Others, The Hours, To Die For and The Portrait .., I was extremely disappointed to find that very little is said about the fact that she is, at the core, a thinking character actress and not really a garden-variety Hollywood star. This is what makes her art unusual and separates her from, say, Julia Roberts or Meg Ryan.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Great Biography
Comment: This book, based on the life on Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman, is an excellant read for a fan or anyone who just lies biographies. It's informational and spans over the brilliant actress's career from the start. A must read.
Rating: 2
Summary: Lack of research
Comment: I recently purchesed this book and was extremly disapointed to find things that weren't true.A one point it states 'Anne asks her mother when her father will return and Nicole as Grace replies"Daddy isn't coming home.you'll find out soon enough this place isn't always a happy home."' When actually Nicolase asks 'when's Daddy coming home' to which Nicole then says when the war is over. She tells the servent first arrive she 'you'll find out soon enough this place isn't always a happy home.'
I also found that in the book it quotes Anne Robinson to saying 'that looks like a twitch' at Nicoles attempt to imitate Anne,but actually Nicole makes that comment about herself.
The aurthors showed no compassion to writing this book and there only driving force seemed to be the money.I found this book mostly disatifying and was saddened because Nicole Kidman is my favourite actress,this book doesn't do her justice.so enless you are a complete fan don't even bother reading this book!
