OMG i LOVED this book. I couldn't put it down once i received it. It really brings her life together with all of the photos, scripts, letters etc. It is most definately a must read.;
[Rating: 5 Stars]
I consider myself a die-hard Celine Dion fan ever since hearing her French-language [[ASIN:B000007U0Q Incognito]] (1987) album. I own all of her French-language recordings (including out-of-print LPs and singles from 1981-1988), have watched her early French music videos and numerous French-language biographies and TV specials, and have read her official [[ASIN:0007104081 MY STORY, MY DREAM.]] biography several times.
When I saw Celine Dion: For Keeps, I bought it to round out my collection, erroneously thinking that when it came to Celine's early years in Quebec, I'd seen / heard it all. Not so.
Background
Similar to [[ASIN:B000IAZP16 The Sinatra Treasures: Intimate Photos, Mementos, and Music from the Sinatra Family Collection]], Celine Dion: For Keeps features rare photos and removable reproductions of important documents from Celine's career and personal life, such as an early Quebecois report card, the handwritten sheet music to her audition song Ce n'etait qu'un reve (written by her mother), tour schedules, Grammy nomination letters, and even a copy of Celine's ultrasound (translations are provided for all French documents).
There are recollections that I'd never heard before, such as Celine touring the mall circuit in Quebec during her earliest years as a fledgling artist, and many remembrances from acquaintances, fellow celebrities, and music personalities. This combined the appeal of a text-only biography with multimedia; my only wish would have been for a CD with rare / unreleased performances as was done with the Sinatra Treasures collection.
