Summary: Viva Andrea !
Review: This is a very nice book. It is very well written. It taught me many interesting things I did not know about the world of opera and about Andrea's career. I enjoyed it very much. This book is one more thing about Bocelli that I count among my belongings. I have already bought all the albums and the video. This was the only thing I was missing, I think. Well, I am still missing a concert! That's next. I hope I can see him at the Statue of Liberty in New York in July 2000. Viva Bocelli !

Summary: BOCELLI TOUCHES THE SOUL LIKE A GENTLE BREEZE IN SUMMER
Review: Who could not possibly hear the strains of "Con Te Partir" from Romanza and not be filled with emotion. Andrea Bocelli is one of the world's most outstanding artists of all time. His voice is like a gift from Heaven sent on the wings of angels, and his charisma is magnetic and empowering.There has been more than one book written on this extraordinary man; however, I found this one to be filled with more passion and exuberance than others. The reader will learn of Bocelli's faith, childhood, the accident which contributed to his blindness, his encounter with Zucchero (an extremely well-known Italian artist) and his rise to fame. The only flaws with the book are minor; while there are some coloured photographs, many are in black and white which rather distracted from the quality of the book. In addition, the author was rather vague in some parts, leaving the reader feeling that book is not entirely complete. However, the book is still an interesting account of how this talented artist achieved such acclaimed stardom and world-wide adoration.

Summary: Get 'Music of Silence' instead.
Review: You can trust biographies some of the time, but you can't trust them ALL the time. As one of Bocelli's biggest admirers I was surprised when I received this book. Although the first in a line of biographies about him, it tells only part of the story of Andrea's life. Felix occasionally jumps off track and discusses operas he's sung, but not too off track. Still, this biography told me some interesting information I didn't even know about him and includes commentaries from people who worked with him or who have experienced him. If you love Bocelli I recommend you read 'The Music of Silence' instead. That book documents the handsome blind Italian tenor's life IN HIS OWN WORDS.
