New Céline biography "For Keeps", Nov. 2005


Recommended Posts

Posted

As I said, I am a book nerd and... couldn't sleep until I had read the whole thing. I can't say I'm disappointed because I never had any high expectation about this book. Didn't like the style, one of the chapters was so boring... and it felt like... something was missing through the whole book.

Maybe because it separated the whole story of her carreer and the story of her life and we always miss the other part of it (you read about the carreer and miss reading about her life at the same time and when you read about her life you miss reading about her carreer at the same time because these are all linked).

I loved the last chapters, especially the ones about the future, her plans, about a new day and mostly about the recent stuff.

Whatever Celine says it's charming and she is a brilliant woman. I laughed and cried along and it was too much fun and emotional but I just so sorry the book really isn't the kind of books I like to read. I'd never buy it if it wasn't for Celine.

It's just a matter of personal taste.

The pics and all the memorabilia definately saved the book for me. And also all the recent stuff about Celine I loved it.

 

I loved all the pics, especially the one with Rene holding that cake on his last day of chemeoterapy.

Also loved all the pics with RC, those are adorable. I loved the one of Celine inside the car's trunk LOLOLOLOL

Oh, the pic with Nadia Comaneci was like WOW. My two favourite ladies in the world!

Celine loves Nadia. She cried when they met, Nadia offered her a watch about her perfect tens. Céline even dreamed of being a gymnast because she wanted to be like Nadia!

I'll scan some pics tomorrow at my friend's house so I can scan the Nadia pic for you.

Woohooo!!! :clap: Bought the book during my break from school today! I found out while browsing a chapters/indigo site last night that some stores here in Toronto, Canada actually had copies in stock so naturally, I rushed over there today during my break and purchased myself a copy... I have to say, I LOVE IT!!! :wub: Definitely worth every penny and the wait... Although I was every bit as aggravated and confused as many of the other ppl on this forum... Hope you all get your copy soon!

 

Thanks Jenna! :thumbsup2:

There's a great contest at the Celine Smiles website, where you can not only try to win a book yourself, you can help some talented graphic designers win. A few people really put some work into making terrific covers for ONCP and, when you vote, you can help a couple win. I think it's a great and generous idea.

We might kiss when we are alone... When nobody's watching... We might take it home... We might make out... When nobody's there... It's not that we're scared... It's just that it's delicate... We might live like never before... When there's nothing to give... Well how can we ask for more... We might make love in some sacred place... The look on your face is delicate

Nadia is super cool!

I scanned some pics but I left those in my friend's laptop. I'm waiting for her to login on msn to send me the pics and I'll share it with you.

 

And oh, on the last pagesm, the acknowlegdments:

:o The pic with Nadia is great!! OMG, I always admire her such gymnastics legend. Thank you Monica. :amour1:

Puedes ver cómo me desmorono, o solo te das cuenta de mis errores

Hay momentos en los que puedo sentir, que lees mis pensamientos

¿Sabias, que todo mi tiempo seria para ti?

¿Sabias, que solo veía a través de ti?

¿Sabías que jugaría mi papel hasta el final?

Sé que lo deje claro desde el principio,

My Love

I've got mine copy also. Well, this book looks very impressive.

But it's for sure for those who previously had read any other book about Celine. Not for the begginer. IMO

And as one of my friend said, I also think Celine opens too much of her personal thing in it. Is anything there that should be kept just for the family or only for the closest people? Only for the couple? Like those letters to Rene from Amsterdam and Germany. And many other things like that.

Sometimes it scares me how many personal things were revealed in it.

And I don't understand the purpose of being way too much opened.

 

P.S. Rene's topless picture: well I must say I couldn't imagine so much hair on him. Sorry for remark :)
