Publisher Description
A chronicle of the meteoric career and tragic demise of one of the most beloved and gifted pop vocalists in the world
Providing an unprecedented glimpse into the fascinating and often difficult life of Whitney Houston, this biography documents the star's career from her burst onto the R&B scene with her 1985 debut album that went on to sell more than 10 million copies to her starring role in The Bodyguard and an inspiring rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the 1991 Super Bowl. Featuring more than 100 color photographs, this tribute chronicles a life filled with triumph—two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, and seven consecutive number one Billboard Hot 100 hits—and tragedy, including struggles with drugs and alcohol and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown. Houston’s unparalleled vocal range placed her among the top echelon of musical artists, and her tragic and untimely passing guarantees her immortality in pop culture.

it ok
i haved read it but i bet that is good
Whitney I loved
The book was ok. Did go into a lot depth into Whitney's life. Most of the pictures & stories have already been told. Nothing new. I loved Whitney & I truly miss her. I have all of her cd's, watched all of her videos & read books. I visited the Grammy Exhibit & it was amazing. To honor her I had a cross bracelet made. Whitney wore the bracelet in her final days. She was in so much pain. I was hoping this book would be more insightful . Because her great friend BeBe (wrote a great book), friends, Cissy, family, Bobbi Kristina (her rock) & her & unwavering faith could not save her. God Bless you Whitney you will be missed.
Enjoyable
Being a huge Whitney fan I enjoyed this book a lot, although I would've liked to see more pictures. I also would've liked to have read more interviews and quotes from Whitney herself but all in all is a fast, enjoyable read.
I liked her very much and was rooting for her comeback that was sadly not to be. Only the good die young.
