This a quick and fun read on Orlando. I enjoyed the book. It had plenty of good info on him and pictures. I highly recommend this book to Orlando fans.

That's how I got this book--my family knowing I'm an Orlando Bloom fan, they bought this book when they saw it in Safeway. I thought it was hilarious, but decided it would make an interesting read.
I know a lot of the material is accurate, but it's not really anything you couldn't learn by just going to a fan site on the Net. The author seems to try to spice up the "biography" with some dialogue and insights into actor's mind. Though he states in the beginning that he did this all in Orlando's character, it's a bit distracting, not to mention that sometimes it's a bit difficult to tell what really happened.
I was most insulted at the book's incorrect information. It may just be because I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan (books and movie), but it clearly shows that the book was not very well edited, probably a rush job to get it out in circulation quickly. The name "Gollum" is spelled as "Golem", there are some minor plot mistakes, and pictures from the various LotR movies are very mistakenly captioned. (A picture from Aragorn's coronation labelled "Fellowship of the Ring"??)
I would say you should only buy this book if you're a big Orlando Bloom fan and want to have all the merchandise you can get your hands on. If not, just go and read a biography on a site like The Orlando Bloom Files. It basically says all you want to know in a nutshell, without the extra little flourishes. Another reason to buy this book is if you want to know more about Orlando's career before he got into movies--the book at least has some interesting info there. This book may have been a bit disappointing, but it was amusing to read.
