The Fantastic Mr. Anderson: A Biography of Wes Anderson

by Jennifer Warner, LifeCaps

Ever since "Bottle Rocket" charmed it's way onto movie screens across the country in 1996, Wes Anderson's unique and creative style of filmmaking has captivated audiences worldwide. Much has been written about his movies, but little has been written about the man.

This short biography gives you an inside look at the person behind the movies. It also will look briefly at the techniques and style behind each of his movies, and provide a bit of trivia along the way.

[Josh Sullivan · Rating 1 out of 5]

Absolutely awful, basically facts from his wikipedia page.

[Mary Pham-Byrne · Rating 1 out of 5]

Content was lifted off of various internet articles, imdb, and wikipedia. The writing was very disjointed and doesn't flow very well. There's also a bunch of typos. I don't recommend this book at all. This book was a waste of both time and money.

If you're a huge Wes Anderson fan, I'd suggest checking out "The Wes Anderson Collection" by Matt Zoller Seitz (Published by Abrams Books).

[Cam Duguid · Rating 1 out of 5]

The book is basically like reading a wikipedia article. Not the most enjoyable book out there. It is a very short book, only about 45 pages.

[Miriam · Rating 2 out of 5]

If you've seen all of Anderson's films and watched a few interviews with him, you'll basically know as much about him as you get to know in the book. There're some interesting details I didn't know about him before, but overall the book wasn't worth buying for me.

Pure wiki-imdb trivia.
