"Eminem : Crossing the Line"

Publisher : St. Martin’s Griffin

Description :

This is the latest book by Huxley, author of several musician biographies. Skimpy and superficial, it’s little more than an attempt to cash in on the popularity of rapper Eminem (n ? Marshall Mathers). Huxley’s tendency to focus on Eminem’s rise to fame, leaving the majority of his youth untouched, begs the question of whether this book is really necessary ; two major label albums and a few hit singles do not an icon make. Similarly questionable is Huxley’s biased prose. While he does mention the uglier, well-publicized side of Eminem’s character, these instances are rare and tempered by ridiculous descriptions of him as a "mischievous man-child" and "a sensitive soul whose confidence can still be bruised by a careless callous comment." On the plus side, the discography, which lists every record that Eminem has ever performed on, will be helpful to true "Em" fanatics. Overall, however, this biography is little more than a piece of merchandise to reside next to the CDs, all of which have infinitely more heart and soul invested in their creation.AVincent Au, "Library Journal"
