5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and Insightful, 10 Mar 2008
By Giles Fair (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nicole Kidman (Hardcover)
I really disagree with the criticism from the other reader. The point is that Thomson is not attempting to provide some kind of Vanity-Fair style revelations about Kidman's personal habits. Rather, he uses her career as a starting point for his always fascinating meditations on the nature of stardom and cinema in general. It was a deliberate decision for him to have remained in the position of the star-struck fan, sitting in the dark, gazing adoringly at Kidman. He is not afraid to make himself appear ridiculous in his admiration of her, ahem, body of work. And are the rest of us film fans any less ridiculous? With his typically witty prose Thomson brings home what a strange and unhealthy addiction cinema really is - as well as being the most compelling of all gthe arts.

1.0 out of 5 stars a disappointment, 17 Oct 2006
This review is from: Nicole Kidman (Hardcover)
Most people buy biographies because they have an existing interest in that star and want to get more of an insight into that particular personality. This book provides absolutely no new revelations into this huge actress, that most people do not already know. Instead we are forced to be the audience to David's views on each and every film and how he feels she could have done better/worse etc. There are very few interviews with people that have worked with her, few details about why she made her films choices, how the films were put together, and how she has become such a bankable star. He quotes from other magazine and interviews she has done, which we all have access to, and talks like he knows her intimately even though it is revealed they only spoke for a few minutes on the phone. I understand this was an unauthorised biog, but surely there could have been some proper investagative journalism and research done to provide the reader with new information on Nicole, instead of boring us with his own theories. Shame on you David! We bought this book to learn more about Nicole not about you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok!!, 18 Oct 2009
By T. Blackwell "T :)" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Nicole Kidman (Hardcover)
I am a Nicole fanatic and for the price this is good, it comes with some nice pictures but i find it is very opinionated and dosent really do justice for Nicole it is more about his views and what he thinks.

Hopefully she will write a biography soon

Wouldn't recommend at all, im a bit annoyed at my waste of money. :(

1.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment
What a disappointment. I bought this book to find out about Nicole Kidman, and all I got were the views of what I consider to be a very opinionated David Thomson. Read more
