Reese Witherspoon Books

Reading this well-researched bio made me want to watch all the Reese movies I missed, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for her career and character. I recommend it to anyone who's enjoyed her work.

Great book on Reese. Alot of chapters and information. If you're a fan of Reese, this book is highly recommended.

Penelope is such a cute book! it was a fast read for me and i loved it alot.
Penelope is a girl who was born with a pig noise and she needs to get married to a blue blooded man. but all the guys she meets are scared of her. Then she meets Max who is being paid to get a picture of her for a reporter...
its worth the read.

It's clear that the target age for this book is tweens/early teens, but I'm in my late teens and absolutely loved it. I read lots of really "deep" and detailed/intricate books, and this one was a welcome break from that. The story is very light hearted yet wonderful all the same. I LOVE this book! :D

This was a great book to read! I read it because I thought the movie looked interesting. Now I can't wait to see the movie! I thought it was going to be an extremely predictable novel, but it actually wasn't. Of course it has a happy ending, but it's not what you think will happen.

This is a great book and you should buy it, then see the movie!!!

It was a cute fairytale with a modern twist and a strong message for girls. The writing was average. The story moved quickly and the characters were interesting but there wasn't a lot of depth. I read this book before my 12 year-old read it in preparation for seeing the movie. It is a great book for the tween-young teen set. However I have ready YA stories with more substance.

Young girls seeking to define themselves should love reading this modern-day fairy tale. Penelope Wilhern is a wealthy 25-year-old with a curse: she was born with a pig's snout. The honker will magically turn into a normal nose when "someone of her own kind, a true blue blood, will accept her as she is." As her socialite mom attempts to find a willing beau, Penelope learns to love herself for reasons beyond beauty.

My only qualm? The back story. Explaining why the curse exists, it describes Penelope's great-great-great grandfather Ralph's affair with a scullery maid, who engaged in "certain other activities that Ralph and Clara enjoyed immensely." Clara gets pregnant, with disastrous results. The book's target age range is 9 to 12 years old, and this seems a little mature for girls that age.

In the introduction, actress Reese Witherspoon explains why she was inspired to develop the story into the new movie.
