BOOK REVIEW

Aaliyah: More Than A Woman is a book about the life of Aaliyah Dana Haughton. She was an R&B singer and an actress. At age six she got to experience her first acting role. The part was a small role in the musical production of Annie. At age ten Aaliyah appeared on Starsearch, but lost. Later in her life she would release three albums and two movies. This book tells many details about Aaliyahs music videos and her tragic death. Aaliyahs relationship with her boyfriend Damon Dash was glossed over and all former relationships were completely ignored.
This was an easy book to read and understand. People could tell what the author was trying to get across. In certain areas the book jumped around, so it was not very organized. The strongest aspect was about how Aaliyah treated others and how others viewed her. The book talked about different people and events that did not pertain to her, so the book seemed to drift away from her.
Aaliyah is my favorite actress/singer. I found it interesting to learn about her and her life, that is why I gave the book five stars. People who like Aaliyah or enjoy learning about how stars tend to live their lives, would probably enjoy this book. It tells about what stars experience and how Aaliyahs experiences were. The authors message was, no matter what kind of disaster occurs there is always away to put things back together. This is a good message because it helps people to live in the present not the past. The author was able to successfully send this.

Summary of Aaliyah : More Than a Woman

Aaliyah Dana Haughton was that music business rarity: a teen idol who transformed herself into a critically acclaimed hip-hop soul artist, a singer who successfully made the transition to actress, and a beautiful woman who never let the trappings of celebrity go to her head. Following her impressive debut at age 14 with the album Age Ain't Nothin' but a Number, Aaliyah raised the bar with her hugely influential and bestselling follow-up, One in a Million. She then took her talents to Hollywood, starring in the action thriller Romeo Must Die and the highly anticipated horror film The Queen of the Damned. But soon after the release of her third album in the summer of 2001, Aaliyah's life was cut short in a tragic plane crash.

Here is the inspirational story of the star The Washington Post dubbed "Hip-Hop's Lady Di" -- a woman who, by the time of her death at age twenty-two, touched legions of fans around the world with her haunting voice and gentle spirit.
