Summary: -
Review: I feel that anyone who likes Celine Dion, or anyone who has a passion for music (like myself) will enjoy this book. Very well written, I must say that Celine is a very powerful individual and I look at her in a different light after reading this book. She gets very personal with the readers and goes into great depth about her relationship with Rene. I couldn't put it down and hope that she writes another book, to update us about her life after her son was born.

Summary: A good read, but not something I'd read again.
Review: I have been a fan of Celine Dion for a few years now. That is the reason I bought this book. On thw whole, it was interesting, and hard to put it down. What I did find a littlw weird though was the way she decribes what she felt about Rene when she was 14. Fine, if she knew/thought she knew she was in love with him, but the way she describes it makes her sound selfish, if a little sordid. This book also makes her out to be greedy. Tell me, please, who needs 33 televisions? You just don't. She says that all she needs around her is her family. Why does she have so many houses then? She talks about designing new houses about a year after she has already had one. It's stupid! The book was very detailed throughout, until the end. When I got to the final 3 or 4 chapters, I notcied lack of detail in some places. It all started to seem very rushed, particually the last chapter. For a book that had been very thorough at the start, I was a little disappointed at the way it just got rather thin and boring. I better talk about some good points now. The opening of the book is good, and makes you want to read more, instead of just putting it down. And the photos were good too :D So, IMO, this is a good book, but I think in some places a little too revealing, and as I say, the ending rushed. Still, Celeine fans who are interested in the person as well as the music will enjoy this.

Summary: Ugh.....
Review: I may like Ms. Dion's voice.. This book is torture.. Maybe something got lost in the French translation... but.. in the French tradition, this diatribe is oh-so-emotional and reads like a high-schooler's attempt to write a fairy tale in composition class.. I equate reading this to eating a block of sugar.. And.. another gripe.. This book is so poorly packaged.. Could some of the pictures could at least be in color?

Summary: A great story of self-determination, though sometimes naive
Review: I must admit I am biased because I am a really great fan of Celine Dion. Not only do I like her music, but the way she's achieved everything in her life. Here is the story of a person who was definitely ready to do anything - and everything - she had to in order to achieve what she wanted to become: one of the world's most famous singers. There are a lot of anecdotes about both her personal and professional struggles that the public didn't know about; such as why she became so thin, the times she lost her voice, etc. Celine's story is one of personal sacrifice and constant focusing into her goal. Her romance with Rene Angelil though, is kind of sordid and sometimes boring. I suppose once one becomes a superstar one loses some inhibition. As I was reading the book, at times I turned red. I would have never dared myself to reveal certain details with the openness she does here. In this Celine shows herself as inexperienced and very naive. It's incredible that a person who has gone through so much in life hasn't really gone through the catastrophes most of us have at her age. I'm sorry to say that she still has to suffer a lot to deliver an authentic autobiography that really leaves us something; for example: what will she do when she no longer has Rene in her life? Being myself Celine's age and having also been married to a man 25 years my senior, I can say for certain it is not healthy to be dependent on him as Celine is. She calls it "love", but a lot of the readers will see is something more than that. Nevertheless, the book is an interesting read from the inspirational point of view. This, I found, is Celine's greatest strength; and not her love for Rene, as she intends to portray. That should always be kept personal.

Summary: A Must Have Book For Every Fan!
Review: I must admit I'm a little bias when it comes to rating or reviewing this book because I have been a fan of Celine since 1997. Overall I think the book was great. If you're looking to learn more about this talented artist or to learn about her for the first time, I recommend it. Okay, I admit it has the fairy tale touch but not through and through. And she's very open about her personal life... things most people wouldn't freely say. My favorite parts are hearing about her tours and the passion for her work. This is a book worth reading.

Summary: A Great Book About A Great Singer!
Review: I really enjoy this book that Celine wrote. It's a great book about a great singer, who had it hard when she was a little girl, and how she became famous.. It told me alot that I didn't know about her and her love for Rene. It's so sweet!!

Summary: Perhaps she should stick to singing...
Review: I really like Celine Dion as a singer, but reading this autobiography was a bit much. It was somewhat disturbing to read of her "courtship" of Rene Angelil. She seduced him--a married man over 20 years older than herself--and does not even mention the repercussions this had on his shaky marriage (it led to divorce, of course). Her fantasies of seducing and being with him when she was only 14 years old were disturbing, as is her almost total dependence on him. I really didn't need to know all of those details--it's almost like reading a tabloid magazine. I think she should stick to what she does best, and leave the book writing to someone else!

Summary: Fantastic Singer- Conceited Personality
Review: I received this book for Christmas and was disappointed with the personality that came forth in the book. Fame and success can truly change people and this is a prime example. The book was factual and interesting, taking the reader from Celine's birth, through childhood, her burning desire to be a singer, her early days with Rene and the secret of their relationship to marriage and the anticipated birth of their child. While I think we all admire Celine's determination and disciplined approach to becoming a "super star" (which she has in fact accomplished,) she appears to flaunt what she has acquired and throw her success in the faces of those who helped get her their - her fans. She talks of her wealth, her fame, her lavious wardrobe, her extravagant renewal of her marriage vows, and left the reader with the message that says, "I am rich , beautiful and famous and because of that, look at me now, I am really better than anyone else." In my opinion she is the most fantastic and talented singer of all times and my music library is filled with her CD's. For me, she was a glowing example for all women and what they could achieve if they put their mind to it. However, having read her story and learned of her self-absorbed image, one forms the opinion that success truly has gone to her head, and if you loose so much of yourself in the process, perhaps one is better off without the fame and glory. Hopefully, her time away from the limelight will allow her to discover what is truly important and lasting in life and what is superficial and short-lived.

Summary: Disturbing and Difficult Read...
Review: I was a dedicated fan of Celine Dion before I read this book. Although I will always remain a fan of her music, I no longer respect Celine and her husband Rene. Celine portrays herself as a lovesick, immature and all around helpless woman who cannot survive one minute without her ailing, 26 year older husband. This book really is a homage to her husband more than a book about her career. I am aghast that Celine's family practically sold her out to Rene when she was barely a teenager and did nothing to stop his seduction of her. Don't waste your time and money on this book.
