 Top rate, should still be in print! September 13, 2007
Matthew Davidson
Well, I read this book and read it again, and I think it is more than adequate as a source of all info Winona. I would not describe it as superficial, but perhaps a little limited;not due to the author, but due to the restraints put on him by Winona's guard dogs, i.e. publicist and so on.
I have actually had a chance to meet the author, and I find him to be someone who is deeply passionate about his work, and who respects his subjects, but still tells a good story, and a factual one. It may be said that a Winona bio was a bit too early, but considering her vast career at the time, it was likely a good time to have one. I think the author should come out with a Winona Bio II, when the actress finally throws in the towel and becomes a private citizen, but I am biased that way, being a BIG admirer of the lovely young woman. I reccomend this book to anyone wanting to know who the woman is behind the scenes, and you will be glad you did!

THIS IS ABOUT WINONA RYDER, ONE OF THE BETTER ACTRESSES IN HOLLYWOOD. A SOMEWHAT LIMITED BUT CANDID LOOK AT HER LIFE AND FILMS. THE BOOK MOSTLY IS FOCUSED ON HER MOVIES AND HAS SOME INTERESTING TIDBITS ABOUT HER. HER BOUTS WITH INSOMNIA, RELATIONSHIP WITH JOHNNY DEPP, AND UPBRINGING BY HIPPIE PARENTS MAKE THIS A WORTH WHILE READ. TOO BAD THERE WASN'T MORE DETAILS ABOUT HER PRIVATE LIFE. STILL A NICE READ AND RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF THIS TALENTED BIG SCREEN STAR.
 Not much in-depth information, bit superficial. February 11, 1999

I expected much more information on how Winona Ryder really is, her hobbies, likes and dislikes etc. If I am correct, the author of this book didn't even have contact with ms. Ryder herself. Still, it gives a summary of her movies, which is nice.
Beautiful. February 10, 1999

This book gives a good synopsis of the life of the beautiful and talented actress Winona Ryder. It goes through her years, telling of the influences her 60's-ish family had on her, her aspiration to be an actress, and, in one instance, when she was beaten up in school for "looking like a boy." This book is also beautifully illustrated. The photographs highlight her life well, and allow a lot of reader inflection. A journey through someone else's shoes which you will truly enjoy.
