Editorial Review:
Jennifer Aniston may be adored by fans equally for the dignity she's displayed in her very public personal life as she is for the performances that have made her an Emmy and Golden Globe–winning actress. Born into a family of actors, Jennifer grew up surrounded by the entertainment world on which she would eventually make her mark, but as explored in this biography, she had her share of childhood ups and downs. Every aspect of her career is considered—her early career, a challenge that she was about to give up for good, and the huge development that made her struggles worthwhile, landing the part that was to change her life forever—Rachel Green on Friends. The story of her next several years is fascinating, as she shot almost instantly to worldwide fame, remaining in the series for 10 years, and during this time established a high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt—seemingly perfect, and the envy of millions. As she left the stability of her series and transitioned to film, her marriage crumbled in one of the most publicized Hollywood scandals of recent years. However, the last chapters in Aniston's story so far tell of an actress showing the world her strength, bouncing back from heartbreak, and moving on to new relationships and bigger and better films. A close-up look at a much-loved survivor and superstar, this is a must-read for any fan.
Jennifer Aniston: The Biography of Hollywood's Sweetheart Reviews:
Interesting...but not enough 
2009-05-23 - This book is well written and provides plenty of information about Jennifer Anniston's life, both professionally and personally. However, the attempt to portray Jennifer Anniston as an innocent victim is more than obvious and may i also add - annoying. Everything bad that has happened to her is blamed on her bad childhood and on people not being understanding enough towards her.
Awesome book on Jen! 
2007-11-01 - This is a great book on Jen. Well-written and filled with plenty of color photos! Definitely highly recommended for Jen fans. You will be very satisfied.
ehh 
2007-10-18 - I read her mother's biography which was reiterated in the first many chapters of this book. It was somewhat entertaining, but not profound or too revealing. I ended the book with a sour taste for Ms. J. Aniston. She seems to lack a bit of class and loves the "f" word! It seems like she has grown immensely from her split with Pitt, but her growth was warped by such sudden fame. I think in many ways, she still seems lost.
