Shania Twain: Still the One

I am not a big fan of Shania, but I read the book out of curiosity. The book talks about the technical and business side of the music industry and a little bit about women in music which I enjoyed very much. I didn't agree with some of Mr. Brown's views where he justifies women using their sexuality in order to succeed among other things in the book. But he's a man and I am sure these women make good eye candy for him ;). If you are a Shania fan you'll love this book and love Shania that much more. As somebody who only likes some of her songs, I am better able to understand what makes the woman tick and what influenced her to make the career choices she did. I give Shania credit for being smart and versatile. I do believe that Shania needs to have a longer career in order to write a really great retrospective of her career, but I guess this will do for now. Overall this is a fun book that gives you a glimpse on the music business and Shania Twain. I would suggest taking some of the author's views with a grain of salt because his tone is subjective throughout the book.

My first time writing a review online,on a book which i never read...(this is what you call INTEGRITY=) )Quite surprised to see my friend's review above. Thought he would hardly waste his precious time singing songs for some books. All along trust his taste, so guess this should be a not bad one that deserves a closer look, especially if you are a fan of Shania. Me myself not a soooo big fan, but do appreciate her music.Am loyal to Jacqueline du Pre, the great British cellist. Read most of her biographies, and was greatly inspired by them. So by Mathematical induction, if you love Shania, why not try the book...'Cause you never know how great an impact it may have on your life, just as those of du Pre have influenced mine.<

I never knew much about country diva Shania Twain's life story until after reading Jim Brown's Shania Twain : Still The One. Shania is indeed an aspiration for all of us to persevere in order to succeed in life. Written in easily readable English, this book focuses on the delectable diva's early years and her phenomenal success up to present day. The life of Shania Twain is a Cinderella story plucked from a country song. It indeed took true grit for this sultry songbird to rise from a hardscrabble childhood to megastardom. I couldn't put this book down once I laid hands on it. A must have books for all fans of Shania. Even if your are not, read this and I won't be surprised that you will become an instant fan!
