Johnny Depp Starts Here

Johnny Depp Starts Here, Murray Pomerance.  Amazon’s price, and the few reviews suggest that this is being sold as popular subject matter because of it's topic.. Despite the flashy cover, this is pretty clearly an academic work and a decently realized one as well. My only caveat is that Pomerance takes her subject too seriously at times, talking in rather lofty philosophical terms about her purpose. Let's be honest: it's intriguing, even helpful as a work of star studies/film criticism, but Johnny Depp's image will never be an existential matter.
