Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very healing
Review: For anyone who still feels the world's loss of Aaliyah, but isn't in to reading a long book, this is a great synopsis of her short life and all her accomplishments. I recommend to all of her fans.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I know that I could've written a better book.
Review: Although, I thought that his Aaliyah Bio was'nt as bad as Kelly Kenyatta's, The downfall of Farley's book was that he failed to stay on the topic of Aaliyah-who was supposed to be the main subject of this book! It seemed liked veered off the subject to either fill pages because of lack of research; or because he just wanted to brag to the reader about all the rich and famous people that he knows. The highlight of this book was that the author was somewhat detailed about the details regarding the day of the crash and provided some nice publicity stills of Aaliyah-esp the ones from her last movie, "Queen of the Damned". I thought that he exaggerated a bit about this movies reviews, though.It may have earned alot of money in the first week, but ticket sales soon dropped after that when it was heard through word-of-mouth that although Aaliyah was playing the title role, her part was rather small, and she does'nt come into the story until towards the end and her character was then killed off. I'm a writer myself , and with the right "connections" and research, I know that I could 've written a much BETTER BOOK than both the authors Farley and Kenyatta put together. Bottom line: Check the book out of the library, But don't but it! It will be a waste of your money!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: R.I.P. Baby Girl
Review: Aaliyah is a young woman that was in the music business. Her impressive debut at the age of 14 with album Age Isn't Nothing But A Number. Aaliyah was very smart and she was always happy. She also loved to singing and dancing. She played and a couple of movies. Aaliyah had secretly became engaged to Damon Dash. Soon after Aaliyah released her third album, Aaliyah life tragically cut short in a plan crash. Saturday, August25, 2001.

Yes, I liked the book, Aaliyah (more than a woman). Because Aaliyah was one of my favorite girl singers. I thought that she had a beautiful voice. Her songs weren't always about sex, killing each other. It was about love and happiness. Her music touched everyone in different places. I also liked it because I learned more things about her and her life. I think Aaliyah was a very talented young lady. And it wasn't her time to leave.

The author Christopher John Farley did a good job writing the biography on Aaliyah. It was also a great opportunity for people who didn't know her. Plus it was a great look on how hard it will be to make it in the music industry. This book had captured my attention as a reader and a young lady. That' why I think others should read this book because it will catch your attention. Maybe you will learn more about Aaliyah Dana Haughton.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Aaliyah: "A Legend or Mystery?"
Review: After reading the book, I thought it was nice that someone decided to write about her. Her life was a mystery since she never shared much of her life with the public. A lot of the things mentioned in the book were the same as her documentary on the VH1 and E Hollywood channel. I didn't know much about Aaliyah until hearing of her death. I learn more from watching from a television than a book. (I DONT LIKE TO READ) But one point that I found interesting in the book was that there was other famous stars that perished in plane crashes. There's not much to say about the book especially if you already know this much about Aaliyah.
