Book Reviews of Russell Crowe: The Biography
Book Review: Just the facts...Russell Crowe 101
Summary: 3 Stars
Usually when I read celebrity biographies, I don't know a whole lot about the person and want to know more. With this book, I bought it simply because I am a big fan of Russell Crowe's but wasn't expecting many new facts about someone I already feel I know quite a bit about. I found this to be true but it was an enjoyable read, nonetheless.This book covers Crowe's life from his childhood in New Zealand and Australia, all the way through to his recent Academy Award victory and his most recent film, the Ron Howard-directed "A Beautiful Mind". I did like the authors' format of devoting an entire chapter to a single film or an aspect of Russell's life. If you're looking for information on a specific film, you can find the appropriate chapter immediately.
As a longtime fan who reads and collects articles and videotaped interviews from all over the world, my one main criticism is that the authors seemed to take most of their information and quotes directly from previous print and visual media. Now, I know this is an unauthorized biography; still, it would have been more interesting if they had possibly interviewed friends and co-stars themselves.
Still, they have painted what I feel is a fair, interesting portrait of a complex, intense man and a dedicated, talented actor. If you are a new Russell Crowe fan, this book will give you a lot of information, basic facts you'll want to know about him. If you're a longtime admirer, like myself, it won't tell you a whole lot you don't already know, but will be a good addition to your Crowe collection, anyway.
