Review by Alex Alterman for Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography
Rating:
I was very dissapointed with this book. I was hoping the book would give me more insight into Angelina as a person. As a reader of celebrity tabloids and websites (I know, I know) I found that most of the book was lifted from these sources and contained very little new material. A greater section of the book was spent detailing her parents life than her relationship with Brad. I have to say ths is probably the worst Biography I have ever read. The book provided no new information, insights or information about Angelina. I could have written this book over a long weekend using Google.

Review by Forest 4 Trees for Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography
Rating:
This is the most misogynist book I have read in a very long time. Clearly most all of Morton’s questionable sources are Jon Voight and his friends. Most of the book focuses on a very, very negative portrayal of Angelina Jolie’s Mother — a woman who is conveniently (for Voight, Morton, his “sources” and the publisher) — DEAD.
If you read between the glaring factual errors, lies, verbatim lifts from PEOPLE Magazine, tabloids or the obvious animus the author had before he started this “project”, what you find is the truth — what Angelina has been telling us for years — she has only been with a very few men (two of whom she married), she was in a a sexual relationship with a woman, she tried a lot of self-destructive stuff before finding a purpose in her life with UN-HCR work and the adoption of her baby son in 2002. She likes to learn, explore, travel and she is an actor.
What you won’t find is what Morton said he was going to write about — the real woman. How do you write a biography of someone and leave out any mention of the five charities she has founded (and FUNDS) in the last 7 years? How do you write a biography of someone and leave out any mention of the Millennium Project she established in Cambodia or the schools she funds in Africa, Asia and Afghanistan? How do you write a biography of someone and leave out any mention of the HIV/AIDS/TB clinic she and Brad Pitt are building in Ethiopia. No mention of the work she is doing in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida or Missouri. The wildlife refuge in Namibia she supported in 2002. No discussion of her status as the most powerful and highly paid actress in the world.
What is the point of this screed other than to line the pockets of Morton and smear a young woman who is doing what harm in the world? Fascinating? No. Just pathetic really.
I seriously can’t fathom why anyone would buy this book!

Review by Parkermann347 for Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography

I was hoping based on all the hype that this would be a juicy tell all, more like his bio of Tom Cruise. There is literally nothing new here that my 5 year long reading of Star magazine hasn’t already told me. Jenny Shimizu? Old news. The vial of Billy Bobs blood? Really old news. Her father crying on TV . . . Who hasn’t heard these tired old stories? The book was so tame I honestly feel he was afraid of lawsuits and just didn’t reveal what he might know.
Come on, this is someone with a very lurid reputation and all he did was regurgitate interviews from various magazines. As I said, nothing new, (as in, nothing that could get him into a court room.)
It just was not that interesting. But he did get $3 million to write it.

Review by M. Mitchell for Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography
Rating:
I was truly stunned at Andrew Morton’s poor writing. For some inexplicable reason, Angelina’s behavior is constantly explained in relation to her astrological sign. I felt like he was giving a reading instead of trying to write an interesting, good book. I have read other books by Andrew Morton that were ok, but this book is ridiculous.

Review by Gail Cooke for Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography
Rating:
You’ve probably heard of Andrew Morton, the kingpin of unauthorized biographies (Madonna, Tom Cruise, Princess Diana, Monica Lewinsky). Well, you get the idea. This writer tends to focus on subjects that are very high profile, controversial, and going to sell a lot of his books. Of course, the books do sell although the words “An Authorized Biography” should be as large as the title because his pages are filled with quotes from those who hardly know the subjects, rumors, hearsay, and psycho babble.
Take the case of his latest subject, Angelina Jolie (anyone doubt this would be a sure sell?). Morton wastes no time in detailing the infidelity of her father, Jon Voight, when Angelina was still a babe in arms. This marital misstep, according to psychiatrists who have never interviewed anyone involved, left a permanent mark on Angelina and unhinged her mother. During this crisis wee Angelina was left in the hands of sitters by a mother who couldn’t tolerate the child’s resemblance to her dad.
Further Morton posits that due to this very early traumatic experience Angelina has a tendency to go after married or attached men, steal them away from their partners and then move on to another conquest. He’s at a loss to explain her current relationship with Brad Pitt and their children, choosing instead to leave the impression that this coupling will soon be over and Angelina will be up to her old tricks again.
Truth be told there’s not much new in Morton’s take on Angelina – a great deal of it has already been posted in tabloids and the actress herself has not been reticent about her past or present. Reading one of Morton’s books is similar to lending an ear to the town gossip – you know what she’s saying is often mean spirited, not quite true, yet it’s spicy, and she might, just might have some really hot item to share.
So, you know you want to hear this book – go ahead because the up side is the reading by Bronson Pinchot, a Yale educated Audie Award winner. With wide and varied experience in both television and films he has a well trained, modulated voice, pin point enunciation, and an easy listening style. We’d certainly give Mr. Pinchot 5 stars for his reading – sorry we cannot say the same for the writing.
