Rating: Summary: AALIYAH'S BOOK WAS NOT ONE IN A MILLION Review: The book was ok. The only reason I read the book was because my mother bought it for me and I didn't want to waste her money. I am an Aaliyah fan. I felt like I was reading her VH1 Behind The Music story on tv just in a book because the things that the author was talking about are the same things that I watched on television and know about already. And I know good darn well the author was lying when they said that "Queen of the Dammed" was one of the best movies.
Rating: Summary: Okay Biography Review: I had high hopes for this book, but when I finished reading it i was dissapointed. The book told all about Aaliyah, her early life, accomplishments in music and movies, her love life, and her death. The material on Aaliyah's life was the only good part of the book, because the book kept on going off-topic to discuss lives of Aaliyah's family members, producers, fellow musicians and singers, and other people Aaliyah was involved with. This got very annoying for me, because I wanted to read about Aaliyah, not her cousins or music producers. The book could have been better researched in my opinion, and I wish it focused on Aaliyah's life only.
Rating: Summary: Well written! Review: I bought this book last year, and I've read it at lease 3 times. I really enjoyed reading it because he got deep into Aaliyah life. Into her childhood etc. I never knew some things that I learned in the book. This book is well written, and there are nice quality photos inside. I recommend this book to all Aaliyah fans!R.I.P. babygirl
Rating: Summary: Aaliyah : More Than a Woman Review: I was disapointed with this book the author gets off topic exsesivly i wouldnt reconmend this book it would be a wiser choice to go with Aaliyah: An R&B Princess in Words and Pictures or Aaliyah by Tim Footman
Rating: Summary: Wonderful book! Review: The book "Aaliyah" is so good. I cried because it was so sad for a young person like her to die so soon when everything was going great for her. I recommend people to get this book!
Rating: Summary: Short, but Sweet Review: Produced mainly for the adolescent market, "Aaliyah: More Than a Woman" by Christopher John Farley is a good biography on the life of the R&B singer who was tragically taken away in August 2001. As a paperback book, this book will make a great read during a trip or at the school library, however since it was released so quickly to the market shortly after her death, the book lacks the qualities you'll find in a longer, well-researched biography. It would have been much more enjoyable to read if Aaliyah's family and closest friends provided the author with anecdotes and/or memories about Aaliyah that would have made this biography feel more personal. While it falls short on content, "Aaliyah: More Than a Woman" is a good read for those who know little or nothing about this amazing young lady. If you're an avid Aaliyah fan, I would wait until there is a hardbound biography produced in collaboration with Aaliyah's family.
Rating: Summary: More than a Woman * Review: Aaliyah(More than a Woman) is like no other it was the best. The book told everything about her life. It told everything she accomplished and more. Her life was interesting she was what you would call a lady and a family oriented girl who never forgot who she really was and where she came from. She was truly a angel and thats why people respect her all over the world. She was amazing and I would suggest anyone was into her and her music and acting talents read this book!
Rating: Summary: To a Queen Review: She was an incredable performer,I loved all of her albums and vidios.Iloved all of her dance moves,and whatIloved the most is the way she dressed.
Rating: Summary: the book is in insult to aaliyah Review: Aaliyah was MUCH MORE than what the author conveyed. She was a beautiful women with more more to her than what he wrote about. Why would we want to read about all these other artists when we bought a book about Aaliyah? someone needs to write an in depth bio about aaliyah to unveil the mystique. i'm glad i only paid 7 bucks. mtv has nerve putting out a book on information they've already given us on their network.
Rating: Summary: Good Book;Too much Ad Lib Review: Aaliyah:More Than a Woman is a good book. The book describes Aaliyah's personal and public life; how she was ,who she was,and the people's lives she touched worldwide. The only problem I had with the book is how the author,Christopher John Farley, commented on the lives of other artists and not put his primary focus on Aaliyah. Much of the book contains the rise and fall of other artists of whom Aaliyah had met or come in contact with. The main chapter I was disappionted in was "Damon and Aaliyah:A love story. That chapter didn't state anything about Aaliyah's relationship with Damon. In the beginning it started off with how they met and who Damon was and that was the end. The rest of the chapter the author just drifted off to another topic like much of the book.Overall, the book was still a good read. For all the devoted Aaliyah fans I would recommend this book because it gives you a deeper look to who Aaliyah was off camera as well as on.
