Customer Reviews

Butterfly

I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the book because it's like a rags to riches story. I also enjoyed the book because Mariah Carey is my favorite singer. Not only do I enjoy her music but I love how she care for the children, and has actually taken more than a few steps to help them. I would say that I was her #1 fan. Not an obsessed fan but more like a great admirer of her art. My review is named, Butterfly, because what I got from her story is that she struggled, went through some things, as we all do in life, worked hard, set a goal for herself, was determined,did so, and became the SUPERStar she is today. She's blossomed into this beautiful woman...a butterfly.

Fairly Good

This book was a good read, it was very interesting especially if you are a fan of Mariah's. The book is basically about her life from a kid until the middle of her carear. If you are intrested in learning about her childhood, rise to stardom and the people she works with this is the book for you. There are also some nice pictures in the middle, and a time line at the end.

This is a Wonderful book everyone should enjoy.

This is a must-have book. It contains a great amount of important and interesting information on the #1 female vocalist of all time. I recommend this book to any Mariah Carey fan or anyone who would like to know more about Mariah before and after she achieved stardom.
