Series: -
Author: Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen

This is by far not a detailed biography of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, but it is quite informative and interesting. Any fan of the Olsen twins should give it a read.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were inescapable during the 1990's and for the first few years of the millenium. They stopped acting when they were older and have moved onto fashion, being rather successful in the process. This biography by Damon Romine is rather cute, describing their home life just as much as their work life, written during their heyday, however undoubtedly fake the whole thing is.

“Mary-Kate and Ashley: Our Story” is a biography about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. This book was written when they were about 13 years old. It talked about how they started being in the movies, their “Full House” days, their adventures with filming movies, and what they like to do off screen. This was a short, fun read and informative about the Olsen twins younger years.

This book is the only biography I know til date which looks at their household, siblings, childhood in a simple manor with pictures. I read this book when I was a teen. So therefore at the time it was great!

Nice book for the fans. But considering that this came out when they were only 17...seems a little dodgy that this is the 'official biography'

Another book I owned from them which I'm sure had a different cover?! Very uninteresting really with so few pages! I liked it when they were 'cool' though

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson are twin sisters who are actresses. The book is about their lives. My favorite part is that they are actresses, and I think they are very pretty. They have made a lot of movies. There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about this book. I can’t wait to watch the movies and shows they were in like Full House. I want to read their books too. Mary-Kay and Ashley have inspired me to want to be an actress.

Alors forcément... ça date, l'écriture est brute, irréfléchie et, depuis, beaucoup de choses ont changé dans l'histoire de ces jeunes femmes. C'est cependant étonnant de constater tout le boulot amassé déjà à cette époque.
C'est d'autant plus surprenant qu'en France, nous avons énormément vu leurs séries, leurs films et leur marque !

Very uninteresting and mundane. Tries to persuade you that the girls have very ordinary lives and are just like us but then goes on to explain their very insane and unordinary lives. It’s amazing how much they accomplished at a very young age though.

Into kids books mode because of the time of year. Cute book, read just like a J-14 magazine from back in the day.
