Editorial Review:
This book is an interesting commentary on Marriage as an endangered institution and why it is so hard for two people to come together in such a union and make it work. It is a 'must read' for any romantic's out there, lovers, married people, single people and anyone hoping to get married some day. It does so by very carefully examining what could have made the "Fairytale" union of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston turn out to be a Nightmare for the latter. It looks at the role played in the whole saga by that acclaimed femme fatale, Ms. Angelina Jolie. How does a human being (in this case, Jennifer Aniston) deal with a situation where they marry someone they "know" quite well and wake up one day to find a complete stranger? It delves deeply into the issues arising as a result of the shocking break up. It weighs in on Brad's decision to dump his wife for a new beginning with a high risk partner and compares his actions to those of a select group within the industry. Did fate have a hand in the birth of Brangelina, in other words was it ordained from above? The book also examines the sometimes frightening and often ridiculous antics of the paparazzi as it relates to the saga. What are the possibilities of having a lasting union between a confirmed bi-sexual female and a heterosexual male! Will the Media ever allow Jen to get over Brad? It provides an analysis of the various Lessons of the break up of the decade and the new Adoption Mania, how genuine is it all. Are these innocent Orphans becoming mere pawns in a PR Orchestra. It concludes by posing all those sensitive questions to all parties in the Triangle, that everyone wishes they could have the opportunity to ask them but in reality can't. For example, what would Ange do if she ever catches Brad with naked pictures of Zahara when she is an adult, ala Woody Allen? Or, what is likely to happen if Brad and Ange both fall for the same woman?

The Untold Story: Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston (What People Are Not Saying) Reviews:
Not what I expected 
2008-03-13 - As an Angelina Jolie fan, I thought this book might be interesting. Mind this, it's not because I deeply respect and admire Angelina that I don't like Jennifer Aniston : I have nothing against that very good actress and I am sorry for her that her marriage to Brad Pitt didn't last. To the book now : I have the clear impression this book announced as a thourough study of the relationship between Brad Pitt and Jennifer and later to Angelina only adds to the gossip we could (and still can) read in the yellow press. The author never met one of the three persons involved nor relatives ... What was her starting point to analyse the relationship ? The summary on the back cover makes us believe it is a serious study, and in fact it is not. So I prefer to warn possible purchasers : don't expect an objective analysis; it is a very personal point of view of the author, you may or may not agree with, of course.
Big disappointment
2007-12-06 - I immediately regretted buying this book after the first few pages. For one, the author obviously did not even bother to do spell checking, proofreading or editing! It is full of grammatical errors which made me suspicious right away if the contents are legit. I read through it because I was hoping I would be somehow pleasantly surprised at the end but it just didn't deliver. I would sum this up as tabloid fodder disguised as a worthy book.
