Customer Reviews

Depp a review by Julie Currie
A brilliant Book. Easy to read. An excellant insight into the life of Johnny Depp. Lovely photos. It makes you realise that Depp is not just a pretty face. He has had a facinating life so far, good times and bad. A brilliant read.

Johnny Depp
I loved this book all about the gorgeous Johnny Depps life, I found it fascinating to learn about all his life and the films that he was in before he stared in one of the best films of our times Pirates of the Caribbean-The Curse of the Black Pearl. Which is really worth seeing. Even though this book has its flaws it is definately worth reading. If you, as I do want to learn more about this misterious yet gorgeous man then this is definately the book for you.

Depp
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have read a few on the lovely Johnny Depp. I particularly like this one by Christoper Heard because it gives a real insight into the kind of man I have grown to admire for his skill in portraying characters and also the problems which we the public have created for him. I am so happy and pleased that he has found happiness with the lovely Vanessa and his beautiful children. Long may he reign to entertain us all. Love you Johnny
