Book Reviews of Angelina Jolie's: Notes from My Travels
Book Review: Simply Inspirational
Summary: 4 Stars
Raw, sincere, honest, deep from her heart, this book reveals that Angelina is truly a unique human being amidst the superficial world of Hollywood. This book was written to raise awareness of the plight of refugees in conflict-torn countries - it is not Angelina's propaganda to enhance her career. In fact, it exposes her vulnerable side beneath her strong facade. It's simply a journal of her heartfelt experiences while on her UNHCR - sometimes dangerous - missions. This book reminds us -fortunate ones, that we should count our blessings and share those with people who are not as fortunate as us. In her travels, Angelina also marvels at & highlights how the human spirit perseveres in times of difficulties and distress. A shallow & insensitive celebrity would have missed this human characteristic.
My admiration for Angelina has gone beyond her talents as an actress; she is truly inspirational in her real but 'quiet' humanitarian endeavors. There's nothing Hollywood about that. Isn't it strange that no paparazzi cover her UNHCR missions?
I bought 2 copies of this book - one for my elder sister who simply adores Angelina & one for my teen-age daughter, also an Angelina Jolie admirer & whose heart is also into (school) charity programs. I am hoping that Angelina's story will strengthen my daughter's passion in helping people in need - especially poor & sick children.
I hope Angelina writes another book on her recent UNHCR missions.
In hindsight : because of its message, make this a 5 star! :)
