I liked the book's cover and the picture on it. The author had a good writing style. He described Eminem's life very well, starting from Eminem being broke to him becoming successful and making classics. You get to read about Eminem's life, about the time he first met Dr. Dre and while he was making "The Marshall Mather LP", and "The Eminem Show". The book also talks about his friendship with Elton John and how they met. The book tells a lot about Eminem and is good information to use for an essay over Eminem.

I thought that It was actually pretty good.It gave lots of information and his journey throughout his life.I did not like how the book did not answer gave too much information and answers most of my questions but so on it felt like someone was watching over his shoulder but can not see his emotions.
