 A good read, but... February 19, 2003

I am a huge fan of Aaliyah, but I only got to know her music a couple of years after the release of her One in a million album. So, I decided to read one of her biographies to get to know the kind of person she really was. Well, I have to say that the book by Kelly Kenyatta wasn't the best choice. First, the author's writing style is a bit too simple and childish for my taste. This is a book about Aaliyah, not Britney Spears, for God's sake! I don't think that most of her fans are 10-year-olds! At times, I almost felt like I was reading a Disney story! Also, I didn't like the way Kenyatta depicted Aaliyah. Of course, she was a really sweet and talented girl that only everyone could love, but it seems as though she had absolutely no weaknesses. Since she passed away, we all tend to view her as some sort of goddess (quite rightly), but let's not forget that she was a human being, just like everyone else on this planet. And I hated the feeling that not all of the information contained in the book is accurate, like in the "Aaliyah and R.Kelly were supposedly married" issue. Overall, it's a good book to learn more about Aaliyah's career, but I'm sure that there are better biographies about her on the market.

It took a while for the book to come because I order it but I can say it was worth the wait. The research on Aaliyah in this book is very good. I learned somethings I never knew about Aaliyah in this book. They mentioned things about Missy Elliot and Timbaland and the earlier days with R Kelly. It was cool to read how much power was wrapped up in that one little lady. I had to get this book. The book just ended too quick. Aaliyah, your example will be missed. We love you babygirl.

Aaliyah will never die! After reading this book, I am very convinced of that. The book has a lot of never-before-seen pictures of Aaliyah looking so lively,pictures with Missy, Damon,
Stacey Dash and a lot of other people. The story is so heartwarming I was in tears reading it, yes, it's been almost a year and I still miss Aaliyah Dana Houghton. She will be with us forever, just like Lisa Lopes, Tupac and Biggie. Some people have that effect on us and Aaliyah does more than anyone I can think of.
