Best Mariah Biography Yet!

I am a huge Mariah Carey fan and I own just about every book and biography on her. This particular one by Marc Shapiro is by far my favorite of them all! It's so full of detail and has many many behind the music type stories in it that keep your interest to its fullest. Also there are many great pictures inside that are cool to look at! I like this book so much that I had Mariah sign it when I got the chance to meet her a couple of months ago. She said she didnt particularly like the book, but she'd sign it anyways. I think its because it goes so deep into personal issues that maybe she didnt have a say in what was being written since it is "unauthorized." Its still my favorite by far!

Great Mariah Book.

I got this book as a gift from a friend. It talks about mariah's life from when she was born until she started with the whole Glitter thing. This book has some nice full page color pictures but they could be better and some great other ones. In this book there is also her discography, videography, and has a list of all the awards she won. Every Mariah fan should buy this because it may have a bit of information you don't know. GREAT BOOK BY A GREAT AUTHOR.

Un-describable

I really Loved the book by Marc, it shows a side of Mariah we always wanted to know, and with her in the hospital right now, we understand all the work that she does for all of her fans and we trully admore her for all of her stuff, everything, this book shows and tell all of mariahs backstage pass things that she has to go through and things that she has went through as a child, this is a book to buy and to rmemeber! Mariah is the Goddess od the 21st century, and the 1990's Decade......

5 stars for an awesome Mariah book!

I finished this book so quick, I couldn't put it down! This is highly recommended to all the Mariah Carey fans! The biography takes the reader all the way up until now - even talks a bit about "Glitter" and Mariah's new single "Loverboy." If you're a Mariah fan, you need to buy this book! You'll get excited when reading about MC's famous life story - and what an incredible one it is! Rock on Mariah!
