Industry Reviews "Even the gauze-swathed mirror that Ms. Edwards so obligingly holds up to her subject cannot obscure an image that is, in the end, a little terrifying." New York Times Book Review - Daniel Mendelsohn (04/27/1997)
"This, at last, is the definitive Barbra book. Anne Edwards' exhaustive research, personal firsthand knowledge, and riveting style all combine in a biographical saga so awesome it ought to be a movie." Publisher's Catalog - Rex Reed
"...this is clearly the best account of Barbra Steisand in all her contradictory, difficult glory." Faust
