Anyway, I personally think, from this book, and from his performances, and his interviews, and what I know of him, that this man has a beautiful soul. But I don't know him. If I were to ever get to know him and find out that it's all a sham, well, I don't want to, so I hope I never do. I need to believe that there are people like this out there. I enjoyed his description of his 3 personas (Marshall, Slim, and Eminem) and where they end and begin, and where the lines are blurred. I enjoyed his comments about his family, and respect that he never releases any older pictures of his daughter or niece. My favorite parts are the reproductions of his lyrics sheets. If they are indeed 100% authentic, then he really wrote practicaclly all of a "Stan" without any later editing. Amazing. He also writes a lot like me. All over the places in different color pens. I only wish the book were a little longer.

The DVD is pretty disappointing. It only has about 13 minutes of footage, none of which is particularly groundbreaking. I probably wouldn't watch it again any time soon, and I still prefer his radio interviews. Wish he would put those on a CD and sell it. I'd buy that.
