4.0 out of 5 stars Not that bad July 5 2002
By lost_in_space82
Format:Paperback
The first chapter of this book is absolutely boring, thanks to Judith rambling on about travelling to Halifax. Anyway, I found that Judith didn't write enough about Sarah's life before she released "Touch" in 1988, but you can't get everything you want, right? I also found that Judith wrote far too much Sarah's supposed stalker and not enough about the process Sarah went through to write her beautiful songs. I did enjoy Judith's comments about Terry McBride (Sarah's manager) because I have found him to be a bit of a money grubber and a control freak when it comes to Sarah. When I originally reviewed this book I gave it 1 star, but I've re-read the book and it's quite obvious Judith loves Sarah as a musician, but that she didn't want to give a biased view of the life and career of Sarah McLachlan.

1.0 out of 5 stars Utter Crap Aug 16 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is the biggest piece of crap I've ever read - and I read a lot! How it ever got published is the real mystery! Don't waste your time on it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Written Sep 1 2003
By ray
Format:Paperback
This book borders on unreadable. Rather than write a biography about McLachlan, Fitzgerald writes an account of her own 'road trip' to discover the truth about McLachlan. I'm certainly not opposed to that format for a pop biography -- if the author and the supporting characters are dynamic and interesting and the text itself clearly written. Alas, Building a Mystery provides neither. A disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fitz has a grudge and won't give it up
It's so incredibly sad when an author holds such a strong grudge against a person that they would spend the time to write an entire book. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars not worth the money
This book is so warped. It reads like a highschooler's attempt at fiction... if only the author had some sort of FACTUAL BASIS behind her conjecture... but no. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!
This is a beautiful book and an outstanding tribute to Sarah. It tells a very important story of her history and explains about how she got to the top. Read more
