Angelina

The subject of No. 1 New York Times best-selling celebrity biographer Morton's latest book is Oscar Award-winning superstar Angelina Jolie. Unauthorized but seemingly well researched, it covers all the bases of her life to date, including growing up in a broken home; her estrangement from her father, actor Jon Voight; her drug addictions; her highly publicized romantic relationships; her humanitarian work; and marriage and motherhood with Brad Pitt. Morton's narrative is peppered with quotes from friends and other unnamed sources as well as "experts" who delve into Jolie's psychological makeup. Actor/Audie Award winner Bronson Pinchot's narration is smooth, low-key, and nicely paced. This will be a popular choice for biography collections.—Phillip Oliver, Univ. of North Alabama Lib., Florence
