Customer Rating: Summary: Mixed Comment: I have to say the one thing i did like about this book was how personal it was. Marshall does get very deep and you feel he is sitting there telling you the story in his own words. However the book is short and quite vague. He leaves large swathes of his life story out and to me Eminem is still a mystery as he doesnt really delve into his private life or into very much detail about key flashpoints in his career.
Could have been better, but the pictures are brilliant as is the free DVD Customer Rating: Summary: Most worthwhile purchase of my year Comment: This book is absolutely brilliant.
If you're a fan this is an absolute must. I think anyone whether a fan or not would be intruiged to get inside the head of Em and you really feel you can with this book.
Before I bought it I thought it would be a basic story of his life but I was so pleased to find out that it's not like that at all. Most people who would call themselves a fan know his story pretty much backwards and if that's all you want you can find it in a million places on the internet.
This is so much more than that though. He really explains his feelings and thoughts throughout major events in his life. It's not at all contrived and it really is as though he's speaking directly to you. The writing itself is well put together and is a lot of the time funny as well.
For me this is without a doubt the best book of the year. Buy it. You'll love it. Customer Rating: Summary: So good its framed and above my bed!!!! Comment: You can tell from the off that this is really written by him. Its a fascinating read (even tho being a devoted fan I new a lot of the stuff already). You're really taken into the minds of Eminem, Marshall Mathers and of course Slim Shady. Although it doesnt go into some parts of his life in great detail you are spoilt for entertaining reading, ranging from origional lyric notes to his deepest thoughts and feelings and never before seen pictures of Em and his Shady family. It looks like Em can connect to people through books as well as songs. The only critism I have (and I was hard pushed to find one) is that its a tad to short. Enjoyed every minute of it tho!
