December Book of the Month

12/7/2005 6:55:00 AM

by Betty Jo Tucker

"Susan Sarandon: A True Maverick" is the Long Story Short Magazine's Book of the Month for December, 2005. Editor Denise Cassino includes the following review to explain why.
"In this fascinating biography, Betty Jo Tucker avoids those dreary details that fill the pages of so many movie star bios and gets right to the nitty-gritty. Tucker includes interesting details of Sarandon’s amazing career, aspects of her love life, past and present, and includes an extensive list of sources for digging deeper into the magic of Susan Sarandon. This book covers each of Sarandon’s movies, allowing the reader to revisit those great characters from Annie Savoy in 'Bull Durham' to Louise of 'Thelma and Louise.' We learn about Susan’s passions, what her peers really think about her and just enough of her personal life to satisfy. Tucker takes the reader behind the scenes to those private causes that touch Sarandon’s heart and motivate this otherwise private movie star to speak out. If you love biographies but flip past those tedious chapters recalling the ubject’s childhood in endless detail, this is a must read. If you love movies, you will enjoy it even more."
