I picked up this book because I'm actually a Lady Gaga fan, and spotted the cover staring at me every time I wandered through the book section at Target.
This is not ordinarily the kind of book I think I'd like to read, and wow, I sure should have stayed with the thought. This book was really nothing more than a list of names. There was no storyline here, no arc of growth, no insight. I'm really not sure why I even stayed with it.
1 of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed reading this. I've read some reviews saying that it's unfair to Gaga, but I really cannot see that. The author does spend quite a bit of time showing instances of where Gaga has exaggerated facts or outright lied, but she also shows instances where other people have exaggerated or lied to make Gaga look bad. And let's be honest -- we knew all along that Gaga was making some things up.
Although it's not particularly insightful into Gaga's music (and probably would have been more interesting had it been written post-Born This Way), the book provides some interesting background on how Gaga got her start. It's easy to read, and well worth it for any Gaga fan.
