It took me awhile to get through this. I wasn’t a fan of the writer. I also didn’t need movie scene play by plays, as I know what happens in his movies. I honestly skipped a lot just because there was a lot of unnecessary content and the writing style. I know I’d prefer something from Depp’s perspective rather than some quotes from interviews.

I enjoyed reading this biography. I've always been an admirer of Johnny Depp's talent as an actor in so many movies. This book gives us a good insight on his work ethics and how he is described by some of his peers and directors in the film industry.

Great book. Easy to read and humorous at parts. I'm a fan of Johnny Depp so I was interested in knowing more about his life, and what makes him tick.

I love Johnny Depp, but biographys are not always that fun to read.
