He did interview many of the record industry people involved in the meticulous packaging of Crow's career, as well as several of her childhood friends. I read this sometime before the fall of , so I don't feel it's fair to rate something I read so long ago. The book was interesting, but it also seemed like it was written to tear her down while she was at the height of her popularity.

I never understood her success because her music didn't appeal to me. I remember hearing the first single from TNMC on the radio and finding it catchy. However, her musical style wasn't consistent - upbeat pop or depressing rock to almost country. I read it becau I read this sometime before the fall of , so I don't feel it's fair to rate something I read so long ago. I read it because I was interested in reading more about a woman who'd reached great success very quickly in the music world, one who came from a small town.

This book made it sound like she used people to gain attention and success, but it did it in a way that seemed like someone was behind the book, deliberately trying to tear her down. She has a memoir coming out soon, and I'm interested in reading that to see what she has to say about events from 25 years ago.

Since the early-Eighties, he has conducted interviews and written regular feature articles for a wide variety of publications in the US, the UK, France, Germany, Japan and Australia, dealing with all aspects of the entertainment business: the artistic, the technical and the entrepreneurial. Hardworking, a fast learner and a master of self-promotion, Crow eventually made her way to Los Angeles, determined to land a record deal.

Buskin alludes to the fact that Crow had a knack for dating men who could and often did help her attain her next goal.

The bio turns Faustian after Crow's debut, recorded for an estimated half-million dollars, was deemed a failure and shelved. Crow was given a second chance, but this time record executives decided that the former cheerleader and Michael Jackson backup singer would be promoted as a folksy singer-songwriter.

Author of more than a dozen pulpy bios including bestseller Princess Diana: Her Life Story , Buskin goes beyond his subject—whose tremendous drive and work ethic he admires—to offer a fascinating and somewhat disheartening example of the branding and marketing of pop stars.
