I ordered this because I thought it would enlighten me as to just who Puff Daddy is. Instead, there were no original quotes, no new revealing information. All old hashed over stuff from magazines. It was so boring and poorly written that I found it hard to get through.

It was impossible to put down. I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in rags to riches stories. Puffy is an inspiration and a force to be reckoned with. It was tight!:)

This book tells you how Sean Combs also known as "PUFF DADDY"worked his way up to being famous.This book also tells you how him and his family lived most of their life.I realy enjoyed this book and I realy recomended to any big fans of "PUFFY".

This book is old and dated but it describes how fatherless Sean John Combs from the housing projects of Harlem went from the struggle of a single parent household to the genius of entertainment mogul Diddy and the Bad Boy empire. A great read for fans and anyone who believes that its not where you come from but where you are going that matters. For more on Diddy's mogul ways check out the new reality show "I Want to Work for Diddy". Diddy is one ambitious and hungry dude whose drive matched his dreams to create Bad Boy. Like Madonna once said, "how far you go and how successful you become depends on how hungry you are". Diddy is an example of that.

The designed book for the causal music fan seeking some information on Puffy. The "Real" music fan will not find anything new. Most of the material was hashed from magazine articles. I feel that you will get more interest from Nelson George's book "HipHop America", chapter 9 "New Jack Swing to Ghetto Glamour" then you will out of the whole UNAUTHORIZED book.

all the info on puffy!! get this book!! it tells alout about how he made bad boy records and his whole life

I think this was a great book although it went on a lot about the thing other people did around such as the life stories of many of the singers and rappers he produced. The only other problem i had was that i did not like the constent telling of the number one hits

This book was Phat. It could of had more pictures, or been bigger. But I deffintly recomend this book 4 any1 who likes Puff Daddy. I learned a lot of Intresting facts, bout him that I didn't know B4.

I knew before that Puff Daddy was a genius. This book only confirmed my knowledge of this. Cable showed an in depth report style view on this performer/producer/the list goes on and on. The story of Puffy's rise to the stop is one that is continuning to unfold in front of us right now, hopefully there will me stories like this about him in the future. Thank you Andrew Cable. Thank you Christopher Wallace! Thank YOU Sean Combs!!!!

This book receives 4 stars because it is very well written and professional looking. However, I find it absurd that a man can use older music, replay it with a slight twist, and call it music. Music is supposed to be of the soul, completely original. Such plagiarism was not discussed in this book. Puffy Combs is a very smart man and a good producer, but he is the worst musician and rapper in the history of hip hop.
