Summary: not good
Review: This book entitled Selena's Secret was hardly worth reading. It manly focuses around the author and how she brodcasted reports about Selena's tradgic death. There is no real secret, just lies and rumors bound together as if one. Since the entire Quintanilla family denies that this books facts are true, I would not recomend this book to anyone.

Summary: -0 stars! complete garbage
Review: this book had to be the biggest compilation of lies and speculation, and just pure ridiculousness i've ever read.this woman just constantly rambles on about of topic subjects.
example:new york city already had it's own zodiac killer-a name assigned to him after he threatend to kill one person after each astrological cycle.
what the hell is that.what does the zodiac killer have to do with selena's so-called "secret" which might I add is never even mentioned in this "yolanda salvidar" fan book.
this woman even tries to make excuses as to why yolanda shot selena,I don't know about any of you but I don't see how you could possibly make an excuse for a woman who murdered someone because they confronted them about embezzling money from your their fanclub.
i say just save your money this book has nothing to offer,unless you want a book filled with lies and are a fan of yolanda salvidar.
oh yeah and luis hernandez,simon hitch and null"silent cat" have to be the dumbest no-minded retards on ebay to give this book anything passed a 1 and then to praise it and call it truthful just shocked me.BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!
Review: This book offered absolutely nothing new regarding the death
of Tejano star, Selena. If you have followed news reports of
her life,death or the trial of Yolanda Saldivar....you have
all that this book offers. *I felt particularly used in having purchased this book because of the title, "Selenas Secret." Having read the book from front to cover; I found nothing new of interest. The author leads you on with bits and pieces of gossip, truths and half truths til in the end you do just what I did....drop i

Summary: It's obvious to tell that a t.v. reporter wrote this book.
Review: This book served one purpose: to chronicle the attempts of a sensationalist, self-serving journalist. It promised to reveal a "secret" of Selena's, but did nothing of the sort. Instead, the author continually promoted herself, as well as her television show. When I first glanced at this book, I thought that I might be reading an in-depth report on the death of Selena. Instead, rumors and half-truths were the basis of the so-called "secret." The author does hint at certain things, but doesn't have the integrity to come right out and state them. Never before have I seen such a fine example of the way that media personalities view themselves: as indispensable to the "ignorant public." Arraras seems to consider herself a very professional and dignified reporter,yet is not above having an astrologer on her show to sensationalize the death of Selena.

Summary: What a waste of money
Review: This book was such a waste of money. On the very last page she states "I will not tell the secret until Yolanda wants me to." This book was such a disapointment & a waste. It went right into the trash!
Rating: 
Summary: This book left a lot unanswered questions.
Review: This was an interesting book to read. I thought the purpose was to reveal "Selena's" secret. It dwelled on suspicions but nothing substancial. Let's just say; "Selena rest in peace".

Summary: Excellent Expose on the Slain Tejano Superstar
Review: Well-researched, yet a bit long at times, "Selena's Secret," is an interesting thought-provoking expose on the reasons that led to the singer's death by her fan club manager. Puerto Rican news anchor, Maria Celeste Arraras, who is one of the most respected women in her field, decided to write this book based on interviews with several people, most importantly Yolanda Saldivar, Selena's murderer.First of all, let's clear things. Selena wasn't a saint, nor am I. To reach sainthood you have to have perform miracles and go through a process. With the media's power influence, Selena's "canonization" was unnecessary in many ways. Arraras' book, which begins with her discovering about Selena's death at the studios where she films her television show, "Primer Impacto" and moves on to her heading to Corpus Christi, Texas to cover her funeral and the media frenzy that followed is well-written in every sense of the word. Arraras continues with her campaign to punish shock jock Howard Stern for his spoof of Selena's final moments (a chapter that I found unnecessary) and her later investigation of Selena's final days. There are many questions that are answered in this book: Why was Selena spending so much time with her plastic surgeon in Mexico? Why did the Quintanilla family did not disclose the Selena had been to a clothing factory with her "male friend" so many times within a few months (a fact proven by official Mexican documents)? Where was Selena's husband and what was the status of their marriage? Why did Selena choose Mexico to be the production country where her clothing line would be produced? Arraras' book answers all these questions and more. The book makes you ponder about many things, especially the belief that Saldivar was an "obsessed lesbian" in love with Selena? After reading this book I came to think that being the only book on the market about the hidden truths that led to Selena's death, why didn't the Quintanilla family sue Arraras for slander? Why to this date they haven't sue Arraras only tells that the author did her homework in an un-biased manner, and she didn't succumb to the mob mentality that ruled Corpus Christi during Saldivar's trial. While I feel that Saldivar is guilty as sin, the other players in this book have remained out of the public spotlight ever since its' publication. Why? Read this book, analyze the facts and separate them from the fiction, and then you'll discover "Selena's Secret." One of the best expose books I have read in years. Highly recommended!
