Editorial Review:
Her voice and her songs are known and loved around the world (in China the song My Heart Will Go On is well-known, although the movie it came from, Titanic, has yet to play there). And although she's been on the cover of People magazine and interviewed by Barbara Walters, Cline Dion's complete story has only been told once. Simply titled "Celine", this is the full rags-to-riches story of the woman who has conquered the heights of popular music and entered the hearts of millions of people. No other biographer has had the access to Cline Dion and her entourage: Georges Hbert travelled with Cline for a full year and got to know her, her husband Rene Anglil, and members of her family. The story he has written makes for a fascinating read.
Celine: The Authorized Biography Reviews:
Book Review 
2008-08-21 - The book is well written and enjoyable to read. However, I was a little disappointed. One of the major things I love about Celine's life is the intense and passionate love she has for her husband - Rene Angelil. They have a very romantic love story. I world have loved it if the book explored the romantic side of their relationship in more detail. This would have given the reader a better understanding of who Rene Angelil really is. I know he is not just the mystery man in black.
Biased but interesting
2006-11-10 - This book was written by a good friend of the great singer so it was pretty biased but enjoyable anyway. It had a great insight on what it was like to be on the road with Celine. I recommend this book
Wonderful collaboration between artist and writer! 
2001-11-16 - Georges Herbert-Germain does a wonderful job finding the equilibrium between Céline's public stage-life and her emotional private-life. The book's chapter pattern of singer to woman to singer shows that there's more to Céline Dion than being a diva and an international pop icon. Despite being followed by the media since she was 12, Céline appears to have remained grounded in the stories of her past, present, and what she plans to do in the future. There's more behind this diva besides Titanic and pipes of platinum.
Bravo!
2000-07-28 - No word can truly discribe Celine's wonderful voice, dreams and spirit, but I believe this book has managed to do the best it could. Of course, you cannot feel Celine's passion by simply read a book. However, I can ensure you that after reading this book, you must at least start to like this real-life model of human being -- Celine Dion.
A must have book!
2000-05-10 - This book is a must read if you are a true Celine fan. I consider myself one. This book tells what Celine did to realize her dream and made it come true. It really tells you what she is like in her personal life. She is a genuine and loving person and loves people. She really cares about what her fans think. And you can almost feel the love that she and Rene share! A wonderful book!
