Remember the '90s? I had kind of forgotten about our societal preoccupations during that time, but bought this book for 25 cents at the library and found it fairly interesting. Eminem is a fascinating character and incredibly talented - that's just a fact. This book also managed to be about the decline of Detroit, the rise of celebrity culture, misogyny in hip hop and the role of music in our culture. On the down side, this dragged a bit and relied entirely on media interviews. On the upside, certainly an interesting subject and this book touches on all the foggiest parts of Eminem's history - his upbringing, his relationship with his mother and Kim, his personas.
Irregular y reiterativo. El ritmo narrativo es muy lento. Se anima por momentos en los que cuenta cosas nuevas. Pero cuando se trata de contar sus malos rollos con sus familiares se atasca y se repite una y otra vez.Gran parte de su historia la conocía, pero lo cierto es que en el libro retrata de un modo muy crudo la decadencia de una ciudad abandonada por la mano de Dios. Dónde una vez fue la ciudad del motor y la esperanza, hoy es la ciudad de la desindustrialización y la desesperanza. Me quedo la reflexión que citan al propio Marshall en el último párrafo:<>
Do You like book The Dark Story Of Eminem (2005)?
Task: Explain why you chose this textI chose this book because Eminem is one of my favorite artists. It makes me think about how crazy this guy actually I'd and the things he says makes me laugh but really he's saying some crazy stuff. Just finished page 17 on chapter 1. So far in the book I read that Eminem is a crazy guy he angers a lot of gay rights people. And he is most defiantly different then other artists. He uses a lot of ways to make fun of America and is not proud of where he lives. I predict that it will explain about how Eminem was drugged as a child and get into more things about his past! Hard to say though because it's an autobiography!
