    <![CDATA[<strong>For the first time, one of musics most popularand headline-makingrap artists shares his private reflections, drawings, handwritten lyrics, and never-before-seen photographs.</strong><br/><br/> Fiercely intelligent, relentlessly provocative, and prodigiously gifted, Eminem is known as much for his enigmatic persona as for being the fastest-selling rap artist and the first rapper to ever win an Oscar. Now, in <em>The Way I Am</em>, he shares his private thoughts on everything from his inner struggles, to the trials of being famous, to his love for his daughter, Hailie, creating a book that is every bit as raw and uncensored as the man himself.<br/><br/> Illustrated with never-before-seen photographs of Eminems home and life along with original drawings, <em>The Way I Am</em> is filled with reflections on his greatest hits, previously unpublished lyric sheets, and other rare memorabilia. Providing his millions of fans with a personal tour of Eminems creative process, it is poised to be hailed in much the same way as Tupacs <em>The Rose that Grew from Concrete</em>, Bob Dylans <em>Chronicles</em>, and <em>Journals</em> by Kurt Cobain.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[While I'm certainly not a big rap fan, I do like some of Eminem's music, and I also love reading musician's autobiographies.  This one is a little different to say the least.  If you can get past the street slang and invectives, it's definitely interesting to read about Marshall Mathers' rise to fam...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43369256">more...</a>]]></body>
