Product Description
Hace anos que los entendidos venian pronosticando el exitoso crossover de Shakira. La cantante firmo su primer contrato discografico a los trece anos, grabo su segundo album a los quince y actuo en una telenovela popular en su Colombia natal. Tenia solamente diecinueve anos cuando su tercer album, Pies descalzos, la convirtio en la artista de mayor venta en Latinoamerica. Si bien su siguiente album, Donde estan los ladrones?, gano ocho discos de platino en Estados Unidos, no fue hasta su actuacion electrizante en la primera entrega de los Premios Grammy Latinos que llamo la atencion de todo el pais. Aunque el exito le llego a una edad tan temprana, a los veinticuatro anos Shakira tiene los pies firmes sobre la tierra y rechaza los estereotipos que rodean a las estrellas de rock. Ella es una catolica devota, vive con sus padres y cuando no esta grabando o de gira prefiere pasar el tiempo con su familia. Esta rockera es una de las pocas estrellas que combinan talento, carisma y sensibilidad, y que ademas saben muy bien lo que quieren. Para la cantante mas fascinante de America Latina desde Ricky Martin, las posibilidades son ilimitadas. Para los millones de personas que ya compran sus discos, Shakira representa la voz de la nueva generacion.

Hey, this book is pretty good. I find it interesting to read about where she comes from, her blended family and etc. It is a good book to build your Spanish vocab. Espero que lo leas!
What a role model! January 29, 2002 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I loved this book. Loved reading about the integrity and hard work and perfectionism this artists brings to her music. Shakira's the real deal. We can all learn from this kind of dignity and sense of self. What a hero -- especially in this age of inflated egos and marketing hype.
Not the best but not that bad either... December 6, 2001 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a big Shakira fan I bought this book the minute I saw it. This book is fairly good. If you are a new Shakira fan, I reacommend it. It tells the story of how this Latin Pop/Rock Icon became the huge star she's today. It tells the struggles and problems she had to overcome for reaching her goals and dreams. If you have known Shakira for a while you'll have already herad almost they say here...
