Book Reviews of Diana's Dogs: Diana Ross and the Definition of a Diva
Book Review: A fan's tribute
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read the 5 star reviews listed here and agree with them. I want to add however, that what makes this book even more special is to see the picture of the author. He is a white guy in his 60's who has simply adored Diana Ross for over 45 years. It is the vignettes he tells about his Ross sightings and meetings that add depth and warmth to this book. He also tells the reader "everything you wanted to know but didn't realize would interest you" which separates this from all other biographies on Diana Ross (for example, the films Diana was going to star in but the projects never happened.) I have read J Randy Taraborelli's 2007 biograhy Diana Ross Diana Ross: A Biography and actually suggest it be read PRIOR to Diana's Dogs, because it provides more detail in a chronological order about Diana's amazing life and career. Diana's Dogs is like finding a pearl in an oyster for a Ross fan, though. The one criticism I have is simply the title--I love the cover artwork, but I would have chose a different name, perhaps DIVA--the definition of Diana Ross. And as I stated prior, the author's personal stories were so essential that I could have read more of those as well. As a big fan, I completely identified with him, and am so grateful that he wrote and published this treasure of a book!
