Product Description
Having amassed a fortune of over $100 million and record sales of forty million at the age of twenty-two, Britney Spears is the worlds biggest female star. This is the first biography to chronicle how the little girl, with a crucifix in each ear, has become the ultimate in tabloid fodder. Britney will follow her roller coaster life from her time on the Mickey Mouse Club, where she first met Justin Timberlake, to the moment she shot to fame and became the all-American pop princess. Somehow it all fell apartscarred by her break-up with Timberlake, roundly booed at the London premiere of her first film, the downward spiral culminated with her infamous fifty-five-hour Las Vegas marriage. Speculating on what an uncertain future holds for Mrs. Federline-Spears, Britney will be a gossipy and revealing biography of one of the most fascinating figures in pop.

 Ordinary Biography of an Extraordinary Star August 26, 2008
Love her or hate her, I think we can all agree that Britney Spears is one of the most well-known and talked-about celebrities in the world. When I initially came across this book, I expected it to properly chronicle the astronomical fame, fortune, successes, and struggles Spears has experienced in her lifetime. I expected to read a biography that is well-written, well-formatted, and most of all, well-researched.
Unfortunately, "Britney: The Unauthorized Biography" did not deliver. Not in the slightest.
The book opens with a chapter detailing Spears' birth chart, which I felt was totally unnecessary and a complete waste of paper. There are many other instances in the book in which the author relays unnecessary or irrelevant facts that do nothing but distract from the main attraction of the book - Britney Spears.
In addition, there are a countless number of typos throughout this book, including misspellings of important names and places. This is incredibly sloppy and careless, and I'm shocked the publisher (Pan Books) allowed the book to be published with so many errors.
Furthermore, the chronology of this book is all over the place. Rather than separating the chapters into years, the author separates them into "significant" periods in Spears' life such as "Mouse Dancing" and "Mrs. Federline". While this is all well and good, the author needs to honor the chronology of Spears' life events. He jumps back and forth between years and periods in such a dizzying fashion that you never know which year he's actually referring to.
Overall, this book was a mediocre disappointment. When one hears the name "Britney Spears", one automatically expects her biography to be in the "gimme more" category (no pun intended). Perhaps the lackluster quality of this book lies in its "unauthorized" nature, but nevertheless, author Sean Smith had a ton of great material to work with, and I think he really dropped the ball on this one.
Bottom line - don't waste your money.
