CELINE DION: Behind The Fairytale - A Very, Very, Unauthorized Biography Reviews:
Terrible Book! 
2008-09-06 - I order this book because I thought it would give me a different perspective about Celine and Rene's life together. This book is so inaccurate and full of gossip with no valid fact, "a maid who use to work for Celine said this, a musician who use to work for the couple said that." The author claims to be a "investigative reporter". Yea right, just a bunch of made up garbage. If I had submitted this book to my high school English teacher as a research paper, I would have received an F. What a waste of my $2.00.
If you see Ian Halperin
2003-12-31 - Tell him he is a hack. This fair tale of facts has nothing to do with the story. Iam Halperin is an amateur paparazzi desperate for a buck. This book is a waste of your money to support his drinking habbits.
Fun Read 
2001-12-23 - There are good facts in this book, some of them are most interesting about Canada's wonderful Celine. I enjoyed this book as well as the other bios out there about her. I look forward to her return this year to music.
Strictly for entertainment 
2001-12-14 - I would not recommend this book for someone who knows very little about Celine. I am a huge fan of four years and have done much independent research in both the English and French languages that can discount almost every "fact" Halperin claims. The inability to quote real sources just further takes away from Halperin's credibility. It is as much the truth as the Enquirer's claims that aliens exist.
Knowing that, I would recommend it to any fan with a real sense of humor, because believe me you will laugh your (...) off. Some highlights include the chapter about Michael Jackson (just the mental picture of Celine screaming out "He is too sexy for me!" about the plastic one is enough), another great story is about her and Rene getting it on in the hot tub with the video camera on. Just imagine Celine and Rene...or actually don't it's quite scary. Too bad his "informants" missed the time Celine tried to "commit suicide" by shoving a whole ball of wasabi mustard in her mouth while in Tokyo (official bio), that was a good one.
In short Halperin is [lousy] at writing the facts, but boy is he a terrific creative writer. Definately worth reading but take it with a conspiracy sized grain of salt.
Truly Entertaining
2001-08-04 - Great behind the scenes accounts of Celine's struggle to the top. This book is a must for any music fan. Celine is truly the greatest singer of our time.
