Shania Twain: The Biography

I thought this biography was extremely detailed and well-researched, but at times it was a little too detailed. There were a few instances in which I skipped over certain parts because I felt they had little to do with Shania herself. However, I liked the way the author consistently included Shania's own words (from radio, television, and magazine interviews and such) throughout the book and the neatly-formatted way she presented the chronology of Shania's life and career. Overall, this is very well-written (I noticed a few typos, which I think is a bit sloppy, but expecting total perfection is unrealistic, I suppose) and worth reading. As I said, it drags a little at certain points, but if you don't mind skipping over the filler to get to the meat of the story, you should definitely check out this biography.

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.

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.

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