Ellen DeGeneres: A Biography (Greenwood Biographies)

AWESOME!

I've long been a fan of Ellen and in my attempt to sate some curiosity about her back story I stumbled on this biography. I wish I hadn't however. It reads like a badly written high school research project on a "famous person". The author confuses tense as well as narrative structure but unforgivably, she cites wikis and other writers' dubious research for her "facts". Pointless and cringe worthy statistical survey data sits crudely within a wholly awkward and labored narrative.I would have tried to look past these if it weren't for the revolting qualification of "Ellen says she was molested by her stepfather" of Ellen's abuse. If you borrow someone else's life without seeking their permission you can at least take her word for what has happened to her in it especially when you seem so content with the accuracy of wikis and tabloid journals for information. A truly terrible waste of my time and money.
