Up Close and Personal CD.......2007-09-22
Very good story, but very long. Could have been shorter and still have gotten the point across.
Does the author had ADD?.......2007-09-16
This book was awful. The plot was all over the place, the characters childish and unbelievable. It jumped from person to person and never seemed to concetrate on any one character. The relationship between Trinity and Jake was so forced. They had a crush on each other as kids, hadn't seen each other for 15 years and yet their relationship never seemed to evolve past two kids hitting, taunting and namecalling each other. The part with the sack race was so annoying and seemed to come out of nowhere. It really had no place in the book and seemed to be an afterthought. I could go on and on about the disasters of this book but there aren't enough hours in the day. I definitely don't recommend wasting your time on this one!
Childish.......2007-08-18
There is only one word to describe this book - CHILDISH. I don't mind a little fudging in a book but she went overboard. The dialog was ridiculous, Mitzi a pain and Jacob and Trinity irritating. The only characters in the book who were not aggravating was Sarabess and Rifkin. The fights between Jacob and Trinity were more like 12 yr olds fighting instead of two 30 somethings fighting. This book got on my nerve so bad, but I paid for it so I read it. What a waste of time. Though the idea for the book was good, it would have been a better book in a more mature author's hands.
Coming Home.......2007-08-10
Ms. Michaels has done it again with one of her best books ever.
Trinity was a child that was conceived not out of love but to help save Sarabrees precious Emily.
After 15 years of living a not very happy life she decides to leave and persue another life. Her new life is safe but then suddenly a reminder from the pasts finds her and she has to decide what to do.
She returs home after being away for 15 years and many things are told to her that she did not know before.
You wont be able to put this book down and I feel it is one of her best. A great read.
better than expected.......2007-08-07
This book is about a woman named Trinity Henderson who ran away at 15 yrs. after discovering she was being raised by a couple who worked for her parents. She eventually returns to her hometown after being discovered by her childhood crush. I found the book to be funny, at times a real page-turner and for most of it, I couldn't wait to see how it ended. The three-legged race was ecspecially entertaining. Four stars because I thought there were a few instances where the book started to lag.

Not appropriate for classroom.......2007-04-12
As an elementary art teacher with 33 years experience I am always amazed that with all of the masterpieces available publishers insist on including nudes in books they claim are appropriate for children. While parents may not have issues with the works chosen I would strongly advise teachers that this particular book is not appropriate for the elementary nor intermediate classroom.
What an amazing resource.......2007-02-10
We homeschool and were looking for a book to use with artist studies. This book has wonderful pictures, and points out details that were surprising to me, even on very familiar prints. I had borrowed this from the library, and the first day home I knew we would buy it for our own home library. This book would be a welcome addition to any child's collection, for pure enjoyment or simple introductions to the world of famous masterpieces.

Fascinating Famous Faces.......2003-12-15
Why do we find certain actors, models and recording artists fascinating while others fail to attract our interest? That's the theme of this rewarding book that investigates the dual mysteries of our reactions to personality and appearance.
While many photographers have produced attractive works focused on famous people, Up Close and Personal is better balanced with thought than most. The format helps this by providing a preface from Cameron Diaz (who is, to me, his most well portrayed subject), comments by many of the subjects about the process and their reactions to it, and Mr. Dunas's own observations about his role and recollections of many of his shoots. The text is in English, French and German to make it more accessible to readers.
Mr. Dunas does portraits in both black-and-white and in color, but seems to do his best work in black-and-white. Age and imperfections become points of attraction in his creased, shadowed faces. He also favors cropping parts of the faces, much in the way that Alex Katz does with his paintings, to give a more candid feel. Sometimes the truncation doesn't quite work because he slightly over does it. Especially interesting are his uses of hands to complement faces.
I thought that about 85 percent of the images were excellent or better, and none were below average.
His most intriguing works are two series involving women over time. The first series begins with Cameron Diaz, taken in 1989. He shoots her again in the same setting in 1994 holding the 1989 portrait. Then he returns to photograph her again in the same setting in 1999, holding the 1994 portrait. You get a sense of her evolution over time (both in maturity and in beauty) along with a wonderful symbol of how our present is shaped by our past. The changes in her hair style from one portrait to another are also intriguing. The second series is of Alexa Davalos in 1996 when she appears as more girl than woman and then in 2001 when she appears as a full-developed woman . . . again in the same scene. These two were taken outdoors so you also see a change in the background tree that heightens the interest.
The book has many wonderful images. Among my other favorites are a diagonal Morgan Freeman (2000), Bob Hoskins with a hand over his face (1998), Xzibit with hands on his eyes (2000), Jackson Browne (1995), face of Salma Hayek (1996), Leon Russell (1972), Emily Watson (1996), Rae Dawn Chong (2001), Rebecca De Mornay (1992 and 1994), Bonnie Raitt (1998), B.B. King (1996), John Lee Hooker (1995), Elizabeth Davidtz (1993), James Coburn (1998), Holland, Dozier, Holland (1998), Chris Cooper (2002), Nick Nolte (1996), LeeLee Sobieski (2001), Keb' Mo' (2001), Mike Leigh (1999), Anne Parillaud (1992), Scotty Moore (1998), Slash (1997), Keeley Smith (2001), Gregg Allman (1998), Martin Sheen (2000), Miranda Richardson (2002), Natasha Henstridge (1992), Diane Lane (1994), and Robin Tunney (2000). As you can see from the subjects, these are not all "pretty" faces like a book of fashion models would provide.
Naturally, for subjects like directors and musicians, most of their appeal comes from their talent . . . which may not show in their faces.
As I finished the book, I was left with the thought that our faces are the reflections also of our soul and character. What does your face show the world about you?
UNIQUE AND COMPELLING PHOTOGRAPHS.......2003-10-31
Gifted celebrity photographer Jeff Dunas has said that "he was born to make photographs." That may well be true as is evidenced by the unique, compelling work found in "Up Close & Personal," an intimate look at contemporary icons.
Whether it be Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, Nastassja Kinski, Martin Sheen, Nick Nolte, B.B. King or a host of others Mr. Dunas's unerring lens seems to capture his subjects very being.
Over one hundred full-color illustrations fill this lush look at the famous, the rich, the talented. In Mr. Dunas's opinion famous people tend to "overwhelm the camera," thus limiting the viewer's view of the person. He attempts to capture the essence of his subjects, what it is that fascinates and draws the public to them.
Described as "the pictures he wanted to take," Mr. Dunas offers a remarkable look at the well-known among us.

Book Description
"Marvelously opaque diaries of the great French cineaste."-
The Observer (London)
Catherine Deneuve's startling portrayal of an icy, sexually adventurous housewife in Luis Buñuel's
Belle de Jour established her as one of the most remarkable and compelling actresses of her generation. Forty years later, Deneuve is still widely regarded as one of the
grandes dames of French cinema.
Despite her international appeal, however, Deneuve has always chosen to avoid the ferocious glare of Hollywood and seldom allows the public into her private life. In these memoirs, Deneuve takes the reader behind the scenes of her life and career in this fascinating collection of seven previously unpublished diaries that she kept while filming abroad.
In her own words, Deneuve charts the shooting of films such as
The April Fools (1968), co-starring Jack Lemmon;
Tristana (1969), directed by Buñuel;
Indochine (1991), shot in Vietnam; and Lars von Trier's acclaimed
Dancer in the Dark (1999), co-starring Bjork. Including a never-before-published interview with famed director Pascal Bonitzer,
The Private Diaries of Catherine Deneuve offers an intimate look into Deneuve's life both on and off screen.
Arguably the most compelling blonde in film history, the international star of Roman Polanski's
Repulsion has produced a memoir every bit as riveting as her movie persona.
Catherine Deneuve's breakthrough role came with
Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, which won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. She has worked with cinema's finest directors, starring in Buñuel's
Belle de Jour and François Truffaut's iconic
Le Dernier Métro. In 1992 she won a César Award and was nominated for an Oscar for her role in
Indochine.

3.5 Stars... Interesting insights but we want more!.......2007-08-11
Catherine Deneuve is one of the all-time leading stars of the French (and even European) movie industry. This book was published in France in 2005 (under the title "A L'Ombre de Moi-Meme") and now finally gets a proper release in the US.
In "The Private Diaries of Catherine Deneuve: Close Up and Personal", Deneuve shares with us the diaries she kept while shooting 6 movies (Dancer in the Dark; East-West; Nightwind; Indochine; Tristana; and The April Fools). It is not clear on what basis these particular movies were chosen as presumably Deneuve kept a diary during many of her other movies. The observations from Lars von Trier's Dancer in the Dark (in which Deneuve plays a supporting role and singer Bjork plays the main character) make for compelling reading. Towards the end of the troubled shoot, Deneuve writes "I'm pretty discouraged, I don't care anymore. Bjork turns up around 11, which isn't unusual, but without a word of explanation or apology to me or anyone, not a single word. There's no point in expecting logical behavior from her; you have to accept her for what she is, wild and unique". Wow! Many other diary entries are much more mundaine, take this one from the "Indochine" set: "Back to studio to try on the Indo-Chinese outfit I would like to wear in the pagoda scene where I go to make offerings after Camille disappears." But a bit later Deneuve writes "I packed my trunk with bread, biscuits, honey and special long-life yoghurts from the French Institute for Agronomy Research. Even the rats like them--one evening in my room, I heard and then saw them carefully cutting through the metal lids--but I like rodents". Say what?Deneuve served on the Cannes Jury in 1994 (with Clint Eastwood as President of the Jury), and shares her diary entries from that experience, but unfortunately nothing from the jury's deliberations.
In all, this is quite enjoyable if you're a movie buff and have seen most of these movies. Unfortunately, the diaries run only to page 120. What follows is a 50 page interview with Pascal Bonitzer, which is pretty insightful (Deneuve revealing she started writing movie set diaries to deal with the boredom on the set) but the interview is really not why I got this book for, give us more of Deneuve's diaries! Also included is a detailed filmography of Deneuve.

This is a story of a screenplay, how it was initially conceived, "developed" by a number of studio heads and producers, and finally transformed into a movie even its writers admit is mediocre. In 1988, John Gregory Dunne and his wife Joan Didion began work on a film script based on the tragic life of anchorwoman Jessica Savitch. Over the next eight years, studio executives coaxed them to transform it into Up Close and Personal, a toothless star vehicle for Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer. In his account of the script's metamorphosis, Dunne also mentions other potential masterpieces of excess that he and Didion worked on, including Dharma Blue, an aborted Jerry Bruckheimer-Don Simpson movie about UFOs and Ultimatum, a nuclear thriller that was abandoned after its studio spent $3 million on script development! Dunne makes no bones about being in show biz for the money--his film work financed his heart surgery, legal costs, and vacations in Honolulu. Still, this account of a screenplay's devolution unmasks an industry spoiled rotten by wealth and power.
Book Description
Monster is John Gregory Dunne's mordant account of the eight years it took to get the 1996 Robert Redford/Michelle Pfeiffer film Up Close & Personal made. A bestselling novelist, Dunne has a cold eye, perfect pitch for the absurdities of Hollywood, and sharp elbows for the film industry's savage infighting. 192 pp. Author tour & national ads. 25,000 print.

The Monster is the Studios Money..........2006-07-18
At a lunch with a studio executive,screenwriter John Dunne was insisting on a story point in the script that he had written with his wife,Joan Didion, the excutive mimed reaching under the table and bringing out,"The Monster",their money, to win the argument. Seven or eight years they toiled on the script that became ,"Up Close and Personal",this is the chronicle of their experiences. Fascinating and sobering, when you realize how things can dissolve and then reappear in a completly different form. It is very well told and forshadows his health problems that cost him his life in 2003, that his wife wrote so exquisitly about in "The Year of Magical Thinking". If how movies get made is of any interest to you this and his other film making tale, "The Studio" will fascinate you.
Insightful book on more of the business side of the process........2003-06-02
Few times have I been so compelled to finish a book as I finished this one. Of course, I have had a long time fascination with the inner workings of H-wood, which is to so many of us something of a mystery (including, I am sure, some of those who make a living there). This book offers an undressed view at two established and respected writers (John Dunne and his more well known wife Joan Didion) who over a span of eight years accept a screenwriting project and alternately work on it to its long delayed completion. Over the eight years, we get a sense of the "industry" as projects come and go and status' rise and fall and financial needs rather than passion or interest motivate what projects are to be taken and when. This by no means an account of your garden variety H-wood screenwriter. John Dunne and Joan Didion are both along in years and have work in the literary and screenwriting field for some time. Neither are starving young artists; however, they rely on the financing of the entertainment industry to maintain their comfortable lifestyle. What this book does is give us an opportunistic window to a project that in one way itself became a monster, and in another way became a perfect structure to provide an account of the typical dealings in H-wood.
It's up to the reader to decide if the author and his wife are "prima donnas." I did not get that sense. To keep from being taken advantage of, you must be tough, and maybe it rubs some people the wrong way. I do not understand how Dunne "name dropped" either. Many people he dealt with through the course of the book are names we recognize. Would it be preferred if he went the way of a gossip column by writing "a certain legendary so and so who..." and "a leggy blonde actress" type of lines?
One of the things that interested me about this story is the dispassionate though dogged effort with which the writer and his wife pursued Up Close & Personal. Usually books are written about great or even just notable movies. Maybe I should save this for another review, but Up Close & Personal is, to me, neither great nor even notable except to say that an insightful book about H-wood was written because of it. Another thing. I do not fault MONSTER for it, but I wish with it had been included one of the early drafts of the script when still centered on Jessica Savitch. That is a movie that sounds like it would be worthwhile.
Dunne is sterile, pompus and a Herculean name-dropper........2002-11-17
The title "Monster" is unintentionally ironic, as Dunne, a priviledged WASP insider, suffers little, financially or at the hands of Hollywood. The only "Monster" in this story is his unquestioning ego, which dominates the narrative like a power-broker at a cocktail party.
As a working screenwriter I've read the gamut of books on Hollywood. Some of the best, like "High Concept," and "The Gross," dish the dirt with a cold hand and are both gripping and informative; then there are first-person accounts like Max Adams' "The Screenwriter's Survival Guide," and the William Goldman books, which are self-mocking and full of personality as well as insight (although Goldman is a bit doddering). Dunne, however, plays his hand to his chest, disparages no one, most noticably HIMSELF or his wife (his writing partner/wife Joan Didion), and you learn little to nothing about the industry. Worse, Dunne drops more names than an usher retelling his evening at the Academy Awards. Futher running it out, Dunne often irrelevantly digresses into asides that serve only to pile on the list of the people he knows and places he's been. There are no real anecdotes, lessons or jokes involved with these mastubatory indulgences. Books like these thrive on the likability of the story teller, and if I saw Dunne at one of his many listed celebrity cocktail parties, I'd quickly turn the other way or leave. Truly the WORST and most dull of all the books I've read on the industry (other than Syd Field and his like). An utter waste of time. I returned it.
Prima Donna Writer Whines About Hollywood.......2002-02-18
I bought this book used for $2 and that's about all it was worth. Which isn't to say it doesn't tell an interesting story, but not quite in the way it intends.
John Gregory Dunne and his wife Joan Didion are Hollywood screenwriters. In this book, Dunne writes the story of the travails of writing the script for the movie "Up Close and Personal" (a terrible movie, to be sure, despite the fact that it grossed over $100 million worldwide). It is clear that his intention with this book was to garner sympathy for screenwriters (principally himself) - the hell the industry puts them through while writing and rewriting (and rewriting) scripts and the industry's inappreciativeness for all of their hard work. The book backfires though, because the reader ends up with little sympathy for Dunne who comes off as an egotistical, difficult to work with, prima donna writer with very little talent, and even fewer good character traits.
The interesting part of this story is not the travails of the writer nor the ins and outs of writing this script, but rather, the dynamic between the "studio" and "the writer" both of whom are difficult and both of whom have a very excessive view of their worth to the project (and neither of which any one of us would want to work with, not if we were in our right minds anyway.) Even more interesting is how Dunne is compulsive about showing the studio in the worst possible light, without realizing he himself comes off as badly as they do.
True, this movie takes eight years to make, with hundreds of rewrites (literally) along the way. Dunne and his wife initiate the project (which was originally supposed to be the story of the news anchor Jessica Savitch,) then after several rewrites of the script they're fired. Several other writers are brought in and many new rewrites are undertaken. Then Dunne and his wife are rehired. The story keeps changing. They rewrite and rewrite. In the meanwhile, a director is hired who, apparently, is impossible to work with, and the producer quits. Then Dunne and his wife quit. Then there are new writers and more rewrites. Then, Dunne and his wife are rehired. Then they rewrite and rewrite. Then the movie is made. They continue to rewrite, scene after scene, all through the shooting of the film.
Throughout this process, Dunne both grandstands and whines. And grandstands and whines. And whines. About how the studio is destroying their script by constantly asking them to change the characters and the story. About how the studio is too demanding. About how the studio is not paying them enough. About how difficult the studio is to get along with. About this and about that. Never mind that Dunne is equally as difficult and demanding. This book just about takes you to the limit of your patience with this man.
And yet, it's compulsive reading. You're privy to a powerstruggle (for control of the script) of the Hollywood kind, and you leave this book with a renewed appreciation of the egos involved in Tinsletown and with a sort of amazement that movies, in general, ever actually get made at all, given the process and the players involved.
Insufferable!.......2002-02-09
No need to repeat what other negative reviewers have accurately stated. As my sainted Irish mother would have said: "The man is too full of himself."
Book Description
All major theaters are covered and each action is analyzed in this detailed look at what it was really like to fight at the sharp end during World War II. While some authorities maintain that only twenty-five percent of all combat soldiers fired their weapons at the enemy because of the innate human reluctance to take another's life, and others take the view that soldiers enjoy killing, the author of this book argues that combat is far more complex than either of these statements imply.
David Lee contends that a unit's success in battle is the result of the type of training it received. His analysis includes a careful examination of the weapons and tactics of each action. He describes what happened, for example, when a battalion of ordinary British soldiers trained in the traditional manner came up against the Waffen SS, whose training was formidable and bore close resemblance to the Commandos. Then he looks at how a rifle battalion held the sniper position against overwhelming odds in the desert war but was nearly wiped out when it went to Italy. Finally, using material gathered by General Marshall and his team of combat historians, he tells the story of a U.S. infantry regiment on D-Day. This revealing and absorbing account of the terror and excitement of close-quarter combat takes the reader directly into the heat of battle.
Customer Reviews:
Collection of first-hand accounts.......2006-12-08
When you get down to it, this book is only a collection of first-hand combat accounts. The author tries to tie them together by relating them to training and combat conditioning, but it is merely a very thin veneer to dress up a simple oral history collection. Viewed as such, the book isn't bad, but also nothing particularly special and certainly nothing new.
Mostly British recounts of WWII.......2006-09-04
Lee's book compiles firsthand accounts of (mostly British) front line soldiers' experiences in WWII.
Basing the book on a loose premise that training and operant conditioning may be key to an infantry force's effectiveness, Lee chronicles Fairbairn Sykes style commando training and its results, as well as examples of less "elite" infantry forces and the conditions that enabled them to fail or succeed (such as the quality of their leadership).
Excellent book for conveying soldiers' firsthand experiences; however, it subsumes the thesis of operant conditioning's role in combat, focusing more on material taken from soldiers' journals and interviews than on psychological theories.
Choice of Waffen SS soldiers on the book cover may have been less appropriate than a photo of British commandos, as the Allied to German ratio of material is much higher.
A Major Contribution to the Field!.......2006-06-04
"Up Close and Personal: The Reality of Close-Quarter Fighting in World War II" by David Lee is one of the best, and most informative books I have read in a very long time.
For students of close combat, and combat training, this book is absolutely vital. For fans of WWII it is the most important book this year. For those who value personal combat narratives, this is an jam-packed gem of a book.
The author's key contribution is to demonstrate (with powerful first person narratives) the various firing rates of units in WWII, and to demonstrate the advantage of the kind of training (ie, modern style conditioning) that British Commando and American Ranger units recieved.
A must have for the library of any student of combat, any law enforcement trainer, or anyone in the military today.
