I received this book 2 days ago and I was so satisfied by the service! The book is written by a British celebrity journalist Robin Eggar and it is just great.

The story starts with Shania's great-grandfather's amazing story of survival, and ends when the breakthrough artist Shania Twain released her Greatest Hits album in November 2004.

It is a very-well researched book that gave me information about the Queen Of Country I have never heard before, even being a big fan of hers since 2002.

For Shania fans and non-Shania fans, this book is the ultimate story of her rags-to-riches adventure.

Strange, I have never been a fan of country music. Let alone Shania Twain. I live in South East Asia and no one here is a fan of country. But I have heard her songs before.I mean I do like You're Still the One and absolutely adore That Don't Impress Me Much. What a fun song. It was not until a month ago that I saw THS: Country Divas which showcase Shania, Faith Hill and Dixie Chicks. I was all of sudden interested in Shania's story. I knew she wasn't American but Country Divas provided some interesting stories. I went out and bought her latest albums to listen. Surprisingly I have Come On Over (International version) in my CD collection. Guess it was one the MUST HAVE CD of the 90's. And I bought this book to read, wanting to know more. And I wasn't disappointed. Well written and there are moments where you wonder, she really did all this to achieve her dream? Incredible. It was a great story about someone who had nothing to having everything in life. Now I am a fan...not about her music alone, but her journey to achieving amazing things in life.

My name is mentioned in the Shania Twain bio, yet the author made no effort to contact me. Instead, he relied on hearsay. I was easy to find. I can be Googled and my name comes up often. MTV had no trouble finding me for a documentary. The Evening Standard of London says "thoroughly researched". How would they know? I believe, from personal experience that Robin Eggar did NOT do his research thoroughly.

My books wre received in a timely fashion and we were completely satisfied.

I ordered the goods $200 worth December 4th for Christmas. It is no 16th January and the goods have still not arrived!
Please advise whereabouts!
