M Moore: I didn’t realise the tragedy of Shania’s life, too loose your parents in a sudden and tragic way and to have find the strength to pick yourself up and be there for your siblings. Then to believe in yourself that you will be successful and deserve to be is inspiring. Also to be betrayed by a friend and your husband and still believe in love. All I’ve got to say is Man, She Is A Woman!

Carol Hoernlein: Excellent autobiography from a singer I always liked but never really knew until I saw her doc and was inspired to read this. Heartwrenching at times but thoroughly endearing. Growing up the same age and entering the music business at the same time with the same influences it was so fun to relate to her take on it all. Very excellent advice on the music business for sure. This should be required reading for anyone wanting to enter the field. Staying true to your own voice is the secret. One thing it explained to me about her music was that she has lived through a really tough life and her upbeat songs were a healing way through it all. As a bar singer I understand this. Folks want to hear something to help them escape and lift them up. A great song doesn't have to be a downer. In fact the most important ones we love best give us the strength to keep going. Shania has earned the right to write upbeat songs. They are her greatest gift to all of us.

HB Dude: This was an excellent book! I don't know where to begin. It was so well done and Shania Twain did an incredible job. She's very detailed and it feels as if she covers most everything throughout the trajectory of her life from birth to early 40's, even though that's impossible, but it is jam packed and layered with tons of insight and detail running about 400 pages or so. The first 1/3 of the book are the struggles in her life pre-fame. The abusive violent household she was raised in and being dirt poor to the point where they wouldn't know if they would have a meal that day. The second 1/3 of the book is the rise of her career and how that just kept getting bigger and bigger. The final 1/3 is the taking a break from the career and witnessing the crumbling of her marriage and the discovery of a new love.

I'm not doing this book justice with this, but all I can say is that I loved it. It was entertaining and moving. I was a little intimidated by how big and detailed it was, so I decided to take it one step at a time and just savor it slowly. I would pick it up and read a few pages to a chapter or two. I'd put it down and pick it up on another day and read a few more pages or...

Leigh: I have been a fan of Shania Twain ever since I first heard Any Man of Mine. I think I found her more relatable and any other celebrity because like me she grew up in Northern Ontario. Her childhood stories of bitter cold winters, walking in knee deep (or deeper) snow, the old tongue on metal that is a rite of passage of any Canadian. What appealed to me the most was her stories of tree planting as I grew up on an MNR (Ministry of Natural Resources) tree nursery, right around the same time that the Twain family were running their business. Hearing the stories and even seeing the pictures brought back memories of several yellow school buses full of people coming from all over to harvest trees to be shipped out to be planted in the forest. Reading these stories made Shania feel less like a star and more like a real person to me. I found it brave to of her to write so honestly about her life. It wasn't always pretty, and was often nasty, but in the end she did triumph. I found this book hard to put down at times because it was so engaging. Even though we all know the story, it was nice to hear the events coming from the person who actually lived through them and not just second or...

Claire van Kampen: Wenn man Shania Twain sieht, eine strahlend schöne Frau, eine tolle Stimme, weltweit bekannt, mit einer super Karriere, würde man nicht
auf die Idee kommen, dass sie jemals Probleme oder Schwierigkeiten gehabt haben könnte.
Die Medienwelt gaukelt einem das perfekte Image vor und wir lassen uns gerne davon blenden, denn schließlich wollen wir alle gut
unterhalten werden.
Allzu oft vergessen wir in dem ganzen Hochglanz-Medienrummel aber, dass sich hinter der übergroßen Bühnenpersönlichkeit ein
ganz normaler Mensch verbirgt, wie du und ich.
Shania setzte sich nicht hin, um eine Biographie zu schreiben, sondern der eigentliche Anlass war, dass sie sich so einiges von der
Seele schrieb, nachdem herauskam, dass ihr Mann sie mit ihrer besten Freundin betrügt.
Nach und nach setzte sie das alles in einen größeren Zusammenhang und reflektierte ihr Leben, von ihrer Kindheit an in sehr
ärmlichen Verhältnissen, von der großen Verantwortung, die sie auf sich nahm, als sie für ihre 3 jüngeren Geschwister sorgte,
nachdem ihre Eltern gestorben waren als sie erst 22 war, bis hin zu dem steinigen Weg an die Spitze der Musikwelt.
So ist diese mehr als...

Kenlah0406: I devoured this book. The book is riveting and so well written. The honesty with which Shania writes about her life is searing and eye opening.

This is a woman who has survived a lot of hardships, but has come out stronger on the other side. I had no doubt that this book would be thoughtfully written, as she is a talented song writer. Her writing is matter of fact and not salacious in any way, but very revealing.

I found it very disturbing to read the other reviews that criticized her way of writing about her parents with such compassion, though she grew up with poverty, abuse and too much adult responsibility thrust upon her at an early age. Family relationships are complicated and filled with a lot of gray areas, even if you consider your family to be "typical" or "normal".

I think she handled herself unbelievable well as a child given the unstable and dysfunctional environment she was born into. And it is clear that though she knows her parents were not perfect, she loved them nonetheless. All of these people who are critical of her for this need to ask themselves if they were able to turn off the love they feel for people in their lives who mistreated,...
