Reviews

[Delaina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Let me preface by saying I read the english version of this book, some of the french parts I found hard to get through. I feel the version I read needed better editors I found a few mistakes. Other than my critiques, the book was not bad. I think I was expecting something a little different though.

We get Celine's story, a bit of Rene Angelil's story, and of course their love story. We also get to go behind-the-scenes of Celine Dion's Falling Into You world tour, as well as other performances and studio recordings, including the 1997 Grammy Awards ceremony. It shows just how much hard work and dedication Celine has put into her profession for pretty much her entire life. She truly does love to sing for her fans, so it is heart breaking to know that Stiff Person Syndrome is making it impossible for her to do that now.
