Love of my life,
By
This review is from: Audrey Hepburn: A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)
Audrey Hepburn: A Life in PicturesThis's excellent addition to my collection of books and DVD's with Miss Audrey. I fell in love with her when I first saw "War and peace". It was many, many years ago in another country and she's still the love of my life. Even after 16 years of her death, I feel like I lost very close relative.

Great gift for Audrey fans,
By A. Malouin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Audrey Hepburn: A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)
This has plenty of beautiful, great quality pictures, including quite a few I have never seen before which is always a plus. The first 10 or so pages are a brief biography of Audrey, also a nice addition. After that, it's all photos and captions, with a few pages scattered here and there with a quote by or about Audrey. A beautiful coffee table book or addition to a fan's collection.

Delicate beauty,
By Lee Lukaszewicz "All ghosts welcome" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Audrey Hepburn: A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)
This beautiful addition to any Audrey Hepburn library is a classy production that brings into focus Audrey's life and work through extravagantly sized photos, reproduced on thick, lush pages that are velvety to the touch. It's full of stunning b&w and color portraits, snapshots, and film stills that are arranged well in a mostly chronological order. There are many quotes included, both by Audrey and about her, which give a good overall feel for her personality.However, glaringly absent, there is nothing at all from "My Fair Lady." I was introduced to Audrey Hepburn as a child by way of "My Fair Lady," and therefore the film will always have a special place in my heart. I'm sure I am not alone. How the author could leave such an important work totally out of the collection is a puzzle to me, and therefore I cannot say this collection is completely comprehensive. I found the biography at the beginning of the book a bit disjointed, although it does give a good overview of her experiences during her childhood and the war that so greatly affected her personality. Of course, the biography is not the point of this book, as this is not meant to be an in depth literary study of her life. This is her life and accomplishments told through photographs. For those seeking a gorgeous photo album, this may be what you are looking for. The "personal" pictures I believe to be mostly photo ops, and therefore you do not get a much of look into the "private" Audrey, but the pictures are many and well varied, and the beautiful portraits alone are well worth the price of admission 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Fresh and different,
By Stanwyck "Stanwyck" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Audrey Hepburn: A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)
One of the problems that anyone who admires a deceased entertainment figure encounters is the great deal of repetition and duplication contained in many works about them.This book has a wealth of fresh images of Audrey, and most of them are clear and reproduced in large format. The only drawback I can see is that many contain Mel Ferrer. If I wanted a book about him, I would buy one. Otherwise, good value for the money. |
