Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This is the book Streisand-loving Linda Richman should have written--if only she were a real person and not a character on Saturday Night Live's "Coffee Talk" skit. Since Waldman, the real author, seems to share Linda's almost-religious devotion to all things Barbra, we can assume it was a labor of love for her to compile this collection of lists, quotes, and commentary on Streisand's albums, movies, men, and more. If you like mushrooms, you'll like mushroom soup, and if you like Streisand, you'll like this book. There's not a lot more you can say about it, except to note that Waldman approaches her job with remarkable attention to detail (witness the lists of songs cut from Streisand albums and movies) and with a sense of humor (see the column-long list of quotes about "The Nose"). Barbra fanatics turn up in all walks of life, so it's reasonable to assume that a few may wander into the public library. When they do, you'll want to have this book on the shelves.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Biographies Of All Time, June 12, 2003
By M. J. Moore (Chicago, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This very detailed and descriptive analysis of Barbra Streisand's career by Alison J. Waldman. She examines almost every detail and aspect of Barbra's very large and extensive career. The part I enjoyed most was the music section where she describes the preparation of and commercial action of each of Barbra's CDs. It is nice to see how stars choose what songs and how all the songs work together. No less fascinating is the Movie section which is very comprehensive. Waldman even crafts a Scale rating the movies' many factors such as Longtime Durability and Success. For the private life, there is some spilling of the beans here and for projects Barbra could have participated in, one can imagine. The book also has a section that chronicles the top rumors of Streisand that are either proven or disproven. One can tell that the author is a fan of Streiand as she details many elements in a style and manner that is highly uncontestable among other biographers of not only Streisand but others as well. Also, the Bette Midler Scrapbook also by Waldman is a good read as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for any Streisand fan!, November 16, 2001
By Scott E "Scott E" (Gloucester, MA USA) - See all my reviews
I have read every word of this fantastic, marvelous book and found it to be the best book written on Streisand's remarkable career.!!....It is filled with wonderful facts about every facet from the early years of her career to today. As an avid and devoted Streisand fan, I found all the facts in this book to be accurate and Waldman's writing style is clear and fresh. All of Streisand's albums are included here....in a table format and in narrative, describing the recording and release and success of each one in remarkable detail. Even more wonderful is the chapter devoted to Streisand's movies....very detailed and filled with wonderful anecdotes and reviews of each movie. This book is FABULOUS!!!

Overall this book is one that I truly loved and will always cherish as a wonderful chronicle of Streisand's career, one that I have followed with much interest over the past 25 years.

If Barbra (God forbid!!) should ever need to prove herself as a singer or actress or director,all she would need is to show this book as her "resume" of all that she has done in her 40 year career. Waldman has done an incredible job and should be highly praised for her wonderful work.
