Johnny Depp Books

I ordered this book about Johnny Depp and when I first opened the book to pg.1 I got really interested and i said to myself "What a good book I picked out".I love Johnny Depp.He is my favorite actor and i think he is so hot!This book is a gotta- get cuz everything about johnny depp is hot,baby!!

This book talks a lot more about his movies and whatr he did in them/for them then hid personal life. But, it does talk about his relationships and has a whole chapter (named 1410) on his hotel trashing arrest.

I liked that it talked about his childhood. Also, it potrayed him not as a "Bad Boy" but as a really nice guy who has been a target of the tabloids. Seriously people, get this book! I laughed quite hard in a few places. Also, this book came out before POTC so its not one of those type of books (the kind that go on about how he is such a rebel and if asked about Ed Wood or Chocolat they would go "What? Johnny Depp was in that??").

This is by far the best book about Johnny Depp. You can tell that Christopher Heard truly respects Johnny. If you can only buy one book about Johnny make it this one. I hope he will continue to update this as Johnny continues to amaze us with his uncompromising performances as one of, if not the best, actors of his generation.

This biography is outstanding. It is about the life of the great actor Johnny Depp, who has been in such movies as Edward Scissorhands, Don Juan de Marco, Donnie Brasco, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. If you would like to know the absolute truth about Johnny Depp, what kind of person he really is, and what makes him such a remarkable actor, you must read this book. I already loved and admired him, but after reading this book, my respect for him grew tremendously.

The main focus of this book is his career, and it goes into great detail about all of his movies up until 2001. (Pirates of the Caribbean, Secret Window, and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory are not included in this book) You will not only find out why he chose to do these movies, but you will also discover who chose him for these parts, what he did to come up with his characters, his relationships with co-stars and directors, and much more. There are tons and tons of quotes from co-stars about Johnny; what it was like working with him, what they think about him as an actor...I found this to be very interesting. You can absolutely tell that Christopher Heard went through a great deal of research for this book. Very impressive. It also covers Johnny's personal life, from his romantic interests, to his family life, his struggles, and his not-so-proud moments. This book sets the record straight. Additionally, it does include several small pictures, mostly in black and white, but there is also an 8 page section with full-page colored photos of Johnny as well.

Please read this biography so you can give Johnny Depp the respect that he deserves. This book will give you proof that he is not only a talented actor, but a completely brilliant, creative, and sensitive man.

Christopher Heard states clearly that he's not telling the story from the press' point of view or from a pro Johnny point of view. He's simply giving the facts and the explanations that the media conveniantly missed. His somewhat mocking of the media's dreamt up persona of Johnny is entertaining, and also informative. It's what you need to know about Johnny, and makes you realize how much you respect him rather than just obsess over him.

Bought this for my sister who is the HUGE Depp fan. She loved it!

I knew very little about Johnny Depp before reading this book, but thoroughly enjoyed every page of it. There are photos galore and an amazing amount of information for a man so young. I immediately began renting discs of his movies to see that versatility the book keeps talking about. Sure 'nuff! It's there. Depp is an amazing actor. After watching his movie "Chocolat", though, I realize he's an even better musician. Now I understand why music is one of his great loves. Bravo, author Wallace!

This Bio by Stone Wallace is one of the very best I have read and I have read nearly all of them. Straigtforward and to the point. Written in a nice flowing way-learned a lot I didn't know and read the book in one sitting. It was that good.

The photos were fantastic! The written material was very interesting and the fact that Johnny's own words were included made the material much more interesting and memorable. I truly enjoy having this book and look forward to adding more Johnny Depp books, DVD's , etc. to my collection.

Bought this for my sister who is the HUGE Depp fan. She loved it!

Book is very enlightening on Johnny Depps career. Shows how he has broadened his career as an actor. Photos were great. Looking forward to more of his movies and acting career.

The photo are of excellent quality and make for a great addition to the three Pirates movies. I love the Pirate movies and hope there will be more and that there will be another poster book to follow.

This is a great poster book. I love Captain Jack and anything I can buy or receive about him. This book is a good addition.

THIS IS A VERY COOL BOOK FOR THE COLLECTOR OF ANY JOHNNY DEPP PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. I PERSONALLY RECOMINED THIS AS PART OF THE COLLECTION.

This book was "written" after the events that took place in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End from the perspective of the surviving members of the East India Trading Company. It has dossiers on Captain Jack Sparrow, the young Jack Sparrow (from the book series), Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, etc. It is like a pop-up book in a way as there are letters you can open, a set of pirate flags (from the Pirate Lords), a replica of one of the cursed Aztec gold pieces (not really a coin as it is more like thick cardboard), etc. If you are a fan of the films, you will NOT be disappointed!

My 8 year old nephew couldn't put this book down with all the secret compartments, maps and surprises. Actually my 4 year old daughter couldn't put it down either, I had to tell her it was her cousin's christmas present and she would have to let him show it to her. Great gift for Pirates of the Caribbean lover's.

This book gives one a succinct biography and then relates ten different essays on ten of Depp's most interesting roles and films. This is great source material if one is doing a Depp retrospective, as the background info and analyses of the films is for the most part - quite well done.

Recommended for Depp fans and fans of good film commentary.

This is a really cool book. It gives you insight on some of Johnny Depp's movies. I don't know what he thinks about all this, but Johnny, if you read this, I hope your OK with it.

Bought this calendar for my 13-year-old for Christmas. She really loves it; especially that Orlando Bloom is featured on her birth month. The graphics are great for every month and makes a wonderful collector item for all those fans of the movie. Would recommend as a purchase as a gift or for yourself!

I had originally purchased the "special edition" calendar and was exceedingly disappointed (see my review). I ordered this one and it was what I wanted; large, colorful photos of the movie characters with date boxes large enough to write appointments in. Can't wait until January 2008 to start using it!

Johnny Depp might be, could be the one. (I know for sure it's not Ben Affleck.) And this book has all sorts of info about Mr Depp.
It's difficult to believe Johnny Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky as his voice does not betray that location. And he's also the youngest of four children. And how about that really short marriage?
Want to know more? Read this well written biography to find out all you could want to know about Johnny Depp.

It is well written once you start it is not easy to put down. The pictures are terrific as well. I'm glad I got the book.

If you are a Devotee of the legend/story/history/you-name-it of Sweeney Todd you should devour this book. Notice the capital "D". At times Mack gives us just a bit too much info, but then again it's all interesting. Of course, discourses on the general subject of cannibalism are a necessary part of the story. What's nice is that although it was published just before Johnny Depp added his interpretation for the benefit of the public at large, Mack touches on the story behind this latest film production...quoting Sondheim and Depp among others. A must-read starts on page 108 when the classic original story "The String of Pearls" is summarized.
