Insightful!

Forget the "fluff" and tabloid gossipy tidbits. Kristine McKenna interviews celebrities with questions that we ourselves would ask a friend. Reflections on their culture, how they feel about their fame and questions of who and what inspires them. I originally purchased this book for an interview piece on Edie Beale but was soon drawn to other interviews with other celebs. I didn't know who some of the interviewed were but Krisitine's interviewing style made me interested in who some of these people were and piqued my curiousity to learn more about them. Her writing style and genuine interest in the people she interviews make her a careful and thoughtful writer. I will purchase her other book, "Book of Changes" based on the wonderful experience that I had reading this book.

A Fun, Important Book

A celebrity with the chance to be interviewed by Kristine McKenna is one mighty lucky celebrity indeed. Ms. McKenna refuses to delve into the tabloid gossip of their lives, focusing instead on drawing out their insights about the human condition. She wants these people to explain inspiration, fame, ambition, enchantment... and by reading her subjects well, and expertly pacing her lines of inquiry, she almost always succeeds. A magnificent achievement, given how jaded and suspicious most of her interviewees tend (at least initially) to be. Ms. McKenna is a far more accomplished and insightful interviewer than Fresh Air's Terry Gross, in my opinion.
