Wow! Page after oversized page of the most imaginative, beautiful and kooky photographs ever made of any one performing artist. Good work by all concerned, especially by Kylie Minogue who lets herself, in this compilation, be photographed and otherwise rendered in a variety of bizarre and embarrassing ways, all in the name of art. And the artists involved are fantastic, the creme de la creme of the new British and European avant-garde, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Sam Taylor-Wood, Pierre et Gilles, and so many more. In this way Minogue pokes fun at herself as a kind of cultural Gumby figure, infinitely pliant and plastic, the object of fantasy and yet somehow the subject of her own demesne. Viva Kylie Minogue--vivat, vivat Regina!

As a loyal fan, I can honestly say that Kylie shines bright in her book "Kylie". From the creative book design and slipcover, to the wonderful collection of beautiful photos, this compilation of her life and many perspectives is extraordinary and breath-taking. I recommend this book highly.

This is a fantastic book, showing the many lives of Kylie, the pop princess of the world. This book shows the many periods of Kylie's life. Including photos, paintings, magazine covers, and personal Kylie stuff. All Kylie fans, like me, SHOULD have this book!!!!!!!

This beautiful, 5 pound art book is a treasure for the kylie connisour.

This stunning array of images with some very tasteful NUDES visually maps out the many transformations Kylie has undergone at the hands of stylists, artists and photographers.

In addition to photographs there are beautiful illustrations and video "grabs", even a life-size Kylie photocopy. Kylie give us Kylie at her coyest, at her most naked.

Hot pink-clad book comes in a sturdy, full color 10 inch x 15 inch slipcase cover

Kylie Minogue did an interesting thing in putting together this book. She allowed fans to see the good, the bad and the ugly. This was a very brave move on her part. Many artists wouldn't have let you see EVERYTHING and I am not talking about nudes here. My only regret as an American fan is knowing that there is SO much more out there and I want it, too!

That said, there are some beautiful pictures, tributes and commentaries. Well worth it.

This book represents Kylie as photographers have portrayed her, how her friends see her, and how she sees herself.

This is kylie in true form!

A must for all.

Kylie, the book, isn't quite what I had expected. It was BETTER! In addition to some of the most amzing pictures of Kylie from nearly every stage of her career, the book featured many brand new and previously unavailable photos. And clever words by the likes of Pete Waterman, Boy George, Ben Lee and Sir Elton John himself. Throw in some artful nudes and fantastic sketches and other art, and you have my vote for 5 stars. Kylie, the international superstar, is a true legend in her own time, and Kylie, the book, proves it!

"Kylie" is an international icon, and it was only natural of her to want to illustrate her life through photographic images and artwork. "Kylie" contains pictures of pop singer Kylie Minogue from her childhood to her status as international icon and most beautiful woman in the world. This book illustrates what it means to be "Kylie", in her own words and those of her friends, family, and peers in the music world.

When I was 7, I was entranced by the beautiful lady on my TV Screen singing 'The Locomotion'. What happened to her from that point to when I first heard 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' two summers ago was a mystery...until I bought this book. Since releasing 'Fever', I have become a big Kylie fan and bought this book to see what exactly has made her so famous in virtually every other country of the world.

Plain and simple, and detailed in this book as well as 'La La La' by William Baker, image had A LOT to do with it. Kylie is a very beautiful woman who is willing to become a blank canvas for her art, thus giving various facets to her pop persona. She is pop princess, avant-garde revivalist, indie paramour, cheesy, classy, showgirl and icon. This book displays pictures from all of these points, flattering and otherwise.

The design of this book is also great and I'm sure it will remain a collector's item for Kylie fans in the future.

a must for all kylie fans.while we still await a definitive biography of the"impossible princess" this book serves as a pictorial insight into the many facets of k.m.
