Rating: Summary: i've been wow'ed and fluttered ;) Review: first, let me start out by saying, i've been a björk fan for 10 years now. many unofficialy "björkgraphies" have been released over the years, and i've read every one of them. when i first noticed "wow&flutter" on amazon earlier this year, i thought to myself .. another one, meaning, another björk book i will read, and kick myself for not writing one myself ;)when i got "wow&flutter", i quickly flipped through it to look at the pictures. saw several that i didn't have, flipped through the pages, noticed it had a song guide and a mini discography. so far i was impressed. but tonight, i decided to read the book. i really wanted to since none of my friends had the book, and no one on the bjork.com 4um had the book either. so i would be the first in my circle of friends to explore. the book covers björk from her birth to present day, even talks about the birth of her daughter this past october. the author, mark pytlik, i can tell is like me. he is a fan. not just a casual fan, not someone who just knew her as "the lady who wore the swan dress". that's what made reading the book so exciting. it is a book i can relate to. while i don't want to "give away" everything in the book, i will tell you that reading this has made me even more excited about her (i didn't think that was possible!) i know this review probably sounds a little corny and a lot obsessive, so i think i'll just stop here :)
