    <body><![CDATA[I'm not big into bio's because I don't feel many celebrities have anything significant to offer, mostly because they lead such different lives than normal people (over the course of time). It becomes hard to relate to their story. Marshall Mather's story is equally difficult to relate to, on both sides of the spectrum, from dirt poor working at Little Ceasars to practical billionaire. But it's the honest telling of the drastic difference from welfare to uber fame that makes it so entertaining. We get to catch a glimpse of what it's like to be ridiculously famous. And I'm glad I'll never be there or live that life. This is the book's largest appeal, and to a lesser degree, big fans of Eminem will get a kick of his history, album to album, the movie, public stuff, beef and all that I don't keep up with, and where he's at now. I'm a fan of his music but I'm not really into what people eat for breakfast, which is why I don't bother reading bios. I had a feeling this one would be honest though, and it is. My family is wealthy but they didn't come from a lot so I had a job as soon as I was old enough, so I respect and relate on a certain degree. While it's definitely not to the point I would stop him in public for an autograph, I'll definitely always give his tracks a run or two hundred. An honest and compelling bio. ]]></body>
