Synopsis

Praise for the book:
"Brilliant." -- Alex Ross, author of The Rest is Noise
"This could be the best book of the series...razor-sharp and unerringly intelligent." -- John Wenzel, The Denver Post
“A book pondering the aesthetics of Celine risks going wrong in about 3,000 different ways...Instead, this book goes very deeply right.” --Sam Anderson, New York MagazineTens of millions of people around the world love Céline Dion.

Goodreads review by Chris on January 12, 2009

Have you ever laughed at someone who claimed to actually enjoy Celine Dion's music? Have you ever felt like you were better than those people who love The Kite Runner or Mitch Albom's books?
