I really liked Stacie Orricos cd when it came out. So I though I'd check out this book. It's a good book about keeping it real in a world so full of people acting and pretending. she talks about how she stays genuine in her faith with her family with her music and with guys and dating. It's great book for any girl who likes her music and is looking for a good book.

Stacie Orrico is a truly amazing girl and shows how mature and genuine a person is in this book. She is so open to many topics that face teen girls today in this artificial world that we live in and she blows my mind how far ahead of her time she is with such mature thoughts. I think that any teenage girl should read this book. It's good to see that there are still some good girls around in this day and she is definitely one of them. Her book is awesome and I think it will leave it's readers with a new knowledge and understanding of how we all should be in this day and age. She truly is a genuine girl who hopes that what she has to say on life and what faces teen girls of today. Her points she makes throughout the make are priceless and I believe that this book is a must have. We love you Stacie.

ISBN 0849995450 - Printed and bound in the United States of America. I'm certain that, if anyone even reads this review, I'm bound to get some flack for it. Of course, there is also a chance that no one will ever see it because the book certainly doesn't seem to be selling like hotcakes at this point.

With a scrapbook-like appearance, Genuine is by, and about, Stacie Orrico and comes with a CD of the song by that title and the video of it. Orrico's Christianity is front and center as she tells the reader about her life (she was 15, there's not really much for a 15 year old to tell!).

Blah blah blah, god, blah blah blah, Christian... "Here's my favorite Bible verse - what's yours?" Wow. Never before have I actually wished aloud for a 15 year old's failure - not that she's 15 anymore. The song is all right, but the Christian aspect of it turns me off just as much as it does in the book. Orrico says that she "describes her music as a pop R&B", while I'd tag her Christian if this was all I was going by... and for the purpose of this review, it IS all I'm going by. I'm sorry I read it, not thrilled I listened to it, but very glad I didn't spend any money to get it.

Christians will, without a doubt, feel completely differently.

I absolutely love this book! Whenever I'm struggling with being a genuine person, I read this. I knew Stacie was a strong Christian but then I read this book. It's great because it just gives insight into Stacie's life. What's she's like, what her family's like, etc. It also attacks the issue of all of the struggle of trying to be genuine in an artificial world. Great job Stacie!
