When I read this book, I already knew the basics about Gillian Anderson. It, however, only had the basics about her. It did not really give a lot of detail in some parts, and was a little confusing in others. I think the pictures section should have been in color, also. So, if you know a decent amount about GA, I do not reccomend this book. It would be all review to you. But, if you don't know much about Gillian Anderson, you should read it.

i read this book and she became my idol,i really admire her for not being affraid of being herself,and not giving in when people made fun of her.i also liked the part about when she goy a nose ring and had to walk sideways around her father or else her father would yell at her,cause im getting ready to get a nose ring.

I bought this book to get my first info about the woman behind Dana Scully, so it was all right. But it is rather short and a bit sketchy. Also, the writing is not especially good, the author repeats himself (he even repeats quotes) and often can't resist being a bit to dramatic (perhaps he always wanted to write a novel?). So, I'd say this is a good start, but if you already know a lot about G. Anderson, forget this book!

Overall, after I read this book, I would like to say that its so great and funny. This true story of Gillian Anderson gives a lot of perception about herself by telling a story from beginning till now. It is a great story because its told us about her feeling after becomes a superstar and also her past life. The writer also not only based the story from the actress point of view and himself, but also from the other people. He also made this book so funny and not so boring too.

This book provides a good basic biography of Gillian Anderson ("Scully" of the X-Files). While Shapiro is an outsider to Anderson's life, he writes of her personal life and events in a favorable manner without becoming intrusive. The writing itself is smooth and quick going, but this book will primarily be of interest to those interested in Gillian Anderson and the X-Files.

I found this book rather boreing because it had the information that I already knew from Tv reports and interviews but it did have its good points in the book.I just want to warn you if you are looking for gossip you want find it here, watch The interviews they give more info. Thanks but this wasn't a bad collectors book for the colored pitcures in it.

I thought this book was great! I guess not because of it's format, but because it's about the greatest person alive!
