[Jevron McCrory · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yet another SOLID book from Brian J Robb!

I didn't know much about Brad Pitt. Surprisingly, what I found out was rather dull. He's had such a healthy and decent upbringing that it was rather boring to read!

Pitt has always seemed far less interesting to me than his contemporaries but it was interesting to learn that he can be a bit of a prima donna on set. I didn't know that.

Still, Brad made Fight Club and Interview With The Vampire so he's off the hook.

It turns out that Brad Pitt is more complicated than any of us would have thought. Brian J. Robb's biography is referenced in my book.
