Synopsis In his 2000 single "The Way I Am," rap artist Eminem unleashed a barrage of frustrated lines fired at the media and aggressive fans: "I am whatever you say I am / If I wasn't then why would I say I am? / In the paper, the news every day I am / I don't know it's just the way I am." Following up in print, his 2008 memoir tracks his career battles, emotional struggles, and other personal materials. Not all is dark for Marshall Mathers, however: for instance, his relationship with his daughter provides positivity in his life. Fans will love the photographs and drawings that illuminate the book, as well as the unpublished lyric sheets.

Industry Reviews "Part autobiography, part photo gallery, part ephemera collection, it's a handsome midcareer (and midlife) roundup for an artist who has been notoriously reluctant to discuss his personal life anyplace but in his music." (10/23/2008)
