I’m surprised by this. It really doesn’t dig that deep. It does not tell the whole story. Most controversies are just brushed over and I don’t feel like I know Marshall Mathers any more than I did before. Listening to Cleanin’ Out My Closet or Mockingbird or Yellow Brick Road will do a much better job at that. Nevertheless this does paint a picture of Eminem’s drive. It narrates why and how he is motivated, who pushed him further, how he feels about the bigger milestones (8 Mile, Infinite, working with Dre) and makes you believe he is giving it everything. Somehow without telling the reader what ‘everything’ is. Which is new for me within the genre of autobiographic material. Like there are glimpses of his childhood and he talks about raising his girls but we never get more details on Debbie and her parenting than we did through his lyrics. At the same time the visuals are stunning, really help reading between the lines and they were definitely put at the centre of attention in the book. It’s more like a photo album rather than a memoir or such. Which, as a voyeur (which I am already for reading this), left me a tiny bit unsatisfied in my intent to KNOW, but left me pleased for the things I could SEE in this. Does this even make sense? :D it’s cool for a fan is what I’m saying, but will not give a good introduction to the artist if you’re unfamiliar with his material and back story.
