Helpful Score: 1


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.
