Book Reviews of Paul Newman
Book Review: Plenty of information, terribly written
Summary: 2 Stars
This book does have lots of information about Paul Newman's life. However, it basically reads like one, 350 page wikipedia article about him. It is very disjointed. If you want to learn a lot about Newman's life, you could certainly pick this up, but I'd recommend looking for a different biography.
Summary of Paul Newman
Paul Newman's best-known films, including The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, and The Color of Money, are cherished both by movie lovers and within the wider popular culture. Dan O'Brien now explores the lineage of Newman's life. His father did not approve of his son's acting ambitions, but Newman forged on regardless and graduated from New York's fabled Actors Studio. He made a stunningly successful marriage with Joanne Woodward, but lost a son in tragic circumstances, and embraced political activism and good causes in later life.Arts & Literature Books
