Johnny Depp biography by Denis Meikle & giveaway
Recently, May 6th, Titanbooks.com released the 5th (revised and updated) edition of “Johnny Depp, the bestselling biography”, written by Denis Meikle,
The life of one of the worlds most highly sought after actors is brilliantly explored in this exciting biography, published to coincide with the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Acclaimed critic Denis Meikle traces Hollywood star Johnny Depp’s evolution from teen pin-up to cinematic icon from his first film appearance in A Nightmare On Elms Street, his roles in films such as Ed Wood and Donnie Brasco, through his collaborations with Tim Burton, and his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean blockbusters, and beyond. With examinations of his life both on and off screen, Meikle explores the effect that Depp’s critical and commercial stature have had on the direction of his career, and has updated the book to include a foretaste of the forthcoming movies, Rango, The Rum Diaries and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stanger Tides.

I would love to win a copy of the book because I love Johnny with all my heart. I own every book about him I can get my hands on and this one would be even more special because I won it from my favourite Johnny website.

Because he’s an inspiration to myself and many across the world and his quirky oddities are something to be admired. He seems an intelligent man and I’d like to learn more not only about his humble beginnings but his carved career and journey as an artist.

Johnny Depp helped me through cancer treatment while filming Public Enemy. Seeing new pictures of the filming were the highlight of my day while receiving chemo. Winning a book about his life would a wonderful addition to my library.

I have been a Johnny Depp fan for the past four years, going on five this July. He is a huge inspiration to me and a hero, if it wasn’t for him, I would have never started to write fanficiton or even know I had a talent with editing films.
I own my own facebook page and website dedicated to Johnny Depp and Johnny Depp news that I update frequently. I have many music videos on youtube that I have made with his movies and dedicated to him.
I have written many fanficitons and he even inspired me to write my own book which I am working on at the moment.
I would love to have this biography of Johnny Depp to add to my collection. He has been such an inspiration and has helped me through some very tough times. Its weird to say, but shockingly Johnny Depp even though I don’t know him is a huge part of me. He’s like the best friend you never actually know but you know is there. He is a pure example of no matter where you come from, you can do and be whatever you want. He shows that its ok to be different, to be yourself, and not to care what other people think. He has made an effort to become a better person, and even admits that he wasn’t a good person before, which takes a lot of character to admit something about yourself like that. I’m proud to say I am a Johnny Depp fan and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

I’ve never won anything before and to win something from your site would be amazing! You guys to such a fantastic job and from someone that has a website, you are one of the few fansites that where their hard work pays off. Good luck to you and the winner!

I have been a huge Johnny Depp fan since my parents took me to see Finding Neverland when I was nine. Now, at 16, I’m as obsessed as ever. Johnny inspires me with his work and helps me to get through the ups and especially the downs of my life…all I need is some Jack Sparrow to cheer me up! I admire Johnny’s strength to stand up and be different as an actor…taking all the “strange” or “odd” roles and portraying them perfectly. I’ve read a few books on him and I’d love to learn more about him and expand my collection.
Good luck to everyone!!

I’m a huge Depp fan, as well as a Depp character cosplayer. His work is so inspirational, and I would love to own the book in order to get more of an insight into his career and life.
