Editorial Review:

Shania Twain has risen from humble beginnings in a dirt-poor mining town in Northern Canada to amazing heights of superstardom. At the age of eight her mother was taking her to sing in lumberjack bars; now she shares a Swiss mansion and an estate in New Zealand with her record-producer husband and is worth more than $100 million. Hits such as "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" and "That Don't Impress Me Much" ensured that her third album, Come On Over, became the bestselling album in country-music history and her astounding crossover to mainstream music swiftly followed. Her life, however, has remained the subject of speculation and controversy.

British music journalist Robin Eggar has talked to Shania's close friends, family, business associates -- and to Shania herself -- to build an insightful, rounded portrait of a woman whose Cinderella tale has become a fable for our times.

Shania Twain: The Biography Reviews:
A Bit Loquacious, But Worth The Time
2008-09-01 - I thought this biography was extremely detailed and well-researched, but at times it was a little too detailed. There were a few instances in which I skipped over certain parts because I felt they had little to do with Shania herself. However, I liked the way the author consistently included Shania's own words (from radio, television, and magazine interviews and such) throughout the book and the neatly-formatted way she presented the chronology of Shania's life and career.

Overall, this is very well-written (I noticed a few typos, which I think is a bit sloppy, but expecting total perfection is unrealistic, I suppose) and worth reading. As I said, it drags a little at certain points, but if you don't mind skipping over the filler to get to the meat of the story, you should definitely check out this biography.

Interesting reading
2008-02-16 - Strange, I have never been a fan of country music. Let alone Shania Twain. I live in South East Asia and no one here is a fan of country. But I have heard her songs before.I mean I do like You're Still the One and absolutely adore That Don't Impress Me Much. What a fun song. It was not until a month ago that I saw THS: Country Divas which showcase Shania, Faith Hill and Dixie Chicks. I was all of sudden interested in Shania's story. I knew she wasn't American but Country Divas provided some interesting stories. I went out and bought her latest albums to listen. Surprisingly I have Come On Over (International version) in my CD collection. Guess it was one the MUST HAVE CD of the 90's. And I bought this book to read, wanting to know more. And I wasn't disappointed. Well written and there are moments where you wonder, she really did all this to achieve her dream? Incredible. It was a great story about someone who had nothing to having everything in life. Now I am a fan...not about her music alone, but her journey to achieving amazing things in life.

Amazing Book, Amazing Story for an Amazing Woman!
2007-01-27 - I received this book 2 days ago and I was so satisfied by the service! The book is written by a British celebrity journalist Robin Eggar and it is just great.

The story starts with Shania's great-grandfather's amazing story of survival, and ends when the breakthrough artist Shania Twain released her Greatest Hits album in November 2004.

It is a very-well researched book that gave me information about the Queen Of Country I have never heard before, even being a big fan of hers since 2002.

For Shania fans and non-Shania fans, this book is the ultimate story of her rags-to-riches adventure.
