About this listen

This deeply researched and rigorously reported biography of Gwyneth Paltrow takes us inside the world of one of the most influential, aspirational, and polarizing celebrities of the last thirty years.

Love her or hate her, Gwyneth Paltrow has managed to stay on the A-list, her influence spanning entertainment, fashion and the wellness industry. Throughout her career, Paltrow has participated in countless carefully managed interviews, but the real Gwyneth—the basis of her motives, desires, strengths, faults and vulnerabilities—has never been fully revealed, until now.

Drawing from extensive conversations with more than 220 sources, including close current and former friends and colleagues, Amy Odell provides insight and behind-the-scenes details of Paltrow's relationships, family, friendships, iconic films, and tenure as the CEO of Goop. Gwyneth is the definitive account of how Paltrow rose to prominence, has stayed in the limelight, and continues to shape culture—for better or worse.

I wasn't a fan of Gwenyth Paltrow before the book and I thought I might change my mind. I didn't.

Nothing new here. Don't waste your time.

Amy did sooo many interviews, I can’t get over how much work she did. Nevertheless, it was fine. I didn’t learn anything profoundly new, I think this could be summarised into one long article. Enjoyable listen when pottering around the house kind of audiobook. Not absolutely terrible, but not amazing.

Fine

I made it three hours into the book and had to give up. I can’t work out what is happening with the narrator. One moment the voice sounds normal and the next the weird intonation really catches you off guard. I assume this is because of AI? Is this the future of audiobooks? I really hope not.


Terrible Narration

It's really boring, hearsay, sensational and the author is very angry they haven't got a good interview into any of G's inner circle

The author hates Gweneth

If there wasn’t an actor’s name attached I would have said the narration was AI generated.

Terrible narration.
