By A Customer

This review is from: Kylie Naked (Hardcover)

I perused this book while at a Borders. Being a bit of an expert on Australia, I have known about the "Kylie phenomenon" which has been going on for quiet sometime in the world (other than the U.S.). Of course, now that Kylie has broken down the doors to the American market, money is to be made on her likeness and all that is Kylie.

KYLIE NAKED is nothing but fluff. What else do you expect from someone who writes for the SUN? The basis of my opinion stems from the fact that Vincent Lovegrove's book BURN is a major source in the writing of this pulp fiction. For those who are unaware, BURN by Vincent Lovegrove had its rights pulled by its publishers; the author's sources were not reliable, his stories contrived. Lovegrove thanks people who have been dead for years/whom he has never met in his epilogue. BURN is one of several biographies about the late lead singer of INXS, Michael Hutchence.

Hutchence was one of the men in Minogue's life; their affairs highly publicized (not much in the U.S. as we are in our own little bubble). Minogue has credited Hutchence posthumously for being the single most important man in her life, introducing to her to a world from which she was sheltered, changing her perspective and image, in turn, making her the Kylie the world has come to know.

If a book's publisher has pulled its rights and KYLIE NAKED cites it as a source, (and often may I add; about 2-3 chapters mention Hutchence alone), then what is to make this book any more legitimate?
