This is an excellent biography of the pop diva. It also includes bio information about her husband and about their incredible romance. She has come a long way since she started singing at the age of 12; this book chronicles how she did it and who she met along the way. It's an interesting read if you're a fan, but it's also interesting if you'd like to know how someone gets from nowhere to a top pop icon. Nice writing style.

A well-written chronicle of Celine Dion's rise to fame, including tales of her earliest appearances, her recent top-selling tour, and her experiences in Hollywood. This is an inside look at Dion, who is at once fascinating and simple. Her intense love affair with husband Rene Angelil is told from both sides--his and hers. And it provides a blinding flash of the obvious: they are soulmates. The book is written by a Quebecois writer who was allowed to travel and live with the singer and her entourage. He tells about her days-long silences to preserve her voice, family squabbles, and the everyday pressures of being on tour. It reads as a good story about a good woman who starts singing professionally as a preteen and at 30 has reached, and surpassed, her goals. It's inspiring stuff.

Voici le meilleur livre a propos de Celine Dion. Evidemment, il vient de sortir aux E-U, mais je l'ai achete a Quebec et pendant ces derniers mois, j'avais eu la chance de le lire. C'est vraiment incroyable. This is the first authorised book about Celine Dion. All others, including the extremely cheesy and untrue "Behind the Fairytale" are not worth your money. This is a wonderful book and it is currently being translated into English. If you can read French, though, you should definetely get this version. Georges-Hebert Germain is a very gifted writer and each chapter flips between a scene from when he was touring with her last year to a gradual, chapter by chapter biography of Celine and her husband Rene. I definetely recommend this book.

I bought this book as a new item, but it was definitely used. Beware when buying that you get what you order.
