 ....i don't know what to say June 21, 2005

wow, i really don't recommend this to anyone.. at all. being a devoted fan for 6 years, there was nothing new to learn about mariah in this book. most of the information was taken from articles ive already read and no previously unvisited aspects of her life were discussed in this book.. i could have read this biography and a student's school essay about mariah and there would not be a difference.
 review about mariah carey; her story December 17, 2000

im a big mariah fan, and prior to reading the book, i knew all the information in it. it wasn't anything special that most fans dont know already. i wrote a research paper on mariah for school, it had to be at least 20 pages typed, and i'd say my paper is better then the book. i wouldnt recommend this book to her die-hard fans, i'd recomend it to people who know little on mariah, and want to learn about her. the pictures werent any good either.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the book because it's like a rags to riches story. I also enjoyed the book because Mariah Carey is my favorite singer. Not only do I enjoy her music but I love how she care for the children, and has actually taken more than a few steps to help them. I would say that I was her #1 fan. Not an obsessed fan but more like a great admirer of her art. My review is named, Butterfly, because what I got from her story is that she struggled, went through some things, as we all do in life, worked hard, set a goal for herself, was determined,did so, and became the SUPERStar she is today. She's blossomed into this beautiful woman...a butterfly.
Probably the worst biography I've ever read November 21, 1999

When I boght Mariah Carey: Her Story, I thought I was finally gonna be able to read a book that talks about Mariah Carey and will have a more realistic view about her life. But what I read was an artificial biography that wrote about things I already knew. What's worse is that the author made a huge effort to compare Mariah to Cinderella, which made the book just as sugar-coated as Mariah's old music. It also turned me off that the author constantly compared Mariah to Whitney Houston, and never wrote one possible thing about Whitney. If you're not very familiar about Mariah's life--then this book is for you, but I wouldn't recommend it, save your money or buy a REAL biography.
Author was very ill-informed September 14, 1999

It was obvious from the first couple of sentences, that the author wasn't on top of things when it came to reporting about Mariah. His first mistake was getting a simple fact like her BIRTHDAY wrong! I was left sceptical about how much he actually researched for the book. As a MAJOR MAJOR fan of hers, this really irked me. I was hoping to find out something about my mentor that I didn't have access to learning. No such luck. Most of the book was a repeat of articles written on her by other journalists.The book was very positive for Mariah. The few photos that were included were beautiful! For those that don't know much about Mariah, I would say this is a good book to start out with, but do something the author didn't do...research what is being said. Read another book on her, go find another article on her, you'll find that some links were missed.
