The Dark Story of Eminem Reviews:
interesting 
2005-10-19 - the most curious part were these mysterious people who helped to mold and cultivate him before he ever met Dr. Dre. i wonder if they were the illuminati
Dope book 
2004-09-05 - This book rocks. It gives tons of background on rap and Eminem and points out instances of incredible timing so you can really appreciate it...you get many, many actual quotes from Eminem and others...the author is sympathetic, not bashing, doesn't seem to have an agenda like so many others. I totally loved this book and am a HUGE Eminem fan. I would also recommend the book Angry Blonde by Eminem himself! He's the master. I LOVE YOU EMINEM!!
Extremely dissappointed 
2003-11-19 - This is a deplorable piece of work from a sad, talentless hack. With any luck, this will be last time Nick Hasted is ever asked to write about important figures in music, such as Eminem, whom I love. He simply lacks the skill or flair required to tell the story in a pacy, engaging and believable fashion.
A lonesome child to a famous superstar
2003-09-07 - This book was a very interesting insight into the mind of Eminem. With thorough details into his childhood traumas and experiences with racism and bullying, you can begin to empathise with Eminem and understand the controversy of his lyrics and why he so extreme with his music. I enjoyed reading this book and now appreciate Eminem and his principles.
Real
2003-06-20 - This was my first book about his life and it is was very readable, looked precise and honest and I read it in 2 days -very quick read for my standards.
I'm 36 years old and I feel a bit strange to have this strong interest in Eminem but, you know...
