4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable February 17, 2002

By "sylsbooks"

Format:Mass Market Paperback

As a lover of Celine Dion's music I was pleased to receive her book as a gift this past year. Everything about this incredible lady catches my interest and I was sure this book would too.

Over the years I have read a variety of different articles about Celine's life and though some are verified as being true I am amazed at just how much depth there is to this woman's life. As a fan I've always been interested in what the real Celine Dion was like. What is it like to have all that fame and fortune and is it worth the sacrifices one makes in this life?

I've learned a new respect for the work it takes to become a superstar and for the private woman Celine Dion is. Her love for her immense and close family and her husband Rene sets her apart from so many of the stars of today. Bravo Celine and I look forward to your return to the stage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Go beyond an author's point of view... July 29, 2001

A Kid's Review

Format:Hardcover

In her own words, Celine describes her life, the good times and the bad. A rags to riches story as they say. Who better to write a book about Celine than herself. Go beyond an author's point of view and go behind the scenes to look at the adventure called life as told by Celine Dion. You can read how Celine got through thick and thin. You can laugh with her, cry with her,love with her, feel with her. You can personally find out more about Celine than anyone you know. After reading this book, fan or not, you will understand her emotions and know what it is like in this hard, musical life of a diva. You will then understand that fame isn't always fortune and that it doesn't happen overnight. Celine will share her thoughts on fame and how to rise above all. How to become a diva. Celine will know, like many other things in the music business. Reading this book will help you deal with your pain while reading how Celine dealt with hers. After reading this book, you have an I.Q. of Celine that noone will believe.
