The Way He Is

yesterday i finished reading the memoir of my favorite artist of all time, eminem.
it reads about the way you might expect a book to read that was written by someone who took the 9th grade 3 times and then quit. its very simple, its almost like he was talking to someone and they wrote down what he said. very conversational. but the thing that has always attracted me to him, beyond his talent, has been his transparency. he's a very open person and surprisingly introspective. there isn't a lot of writing, here. he fills up most pages with pictures and copies of his personal lyric composition sheets (which are fascinating to view). but it is a must read for any eminem enthusiast.
