This review is from: Imagining Liza: Memoir of a Fan (Paperback)

"Imagining Liza" is an amazing look into the mind of a devoted fan. A longtime Liza fan myself, I felt as if Fauvre understood just how I felt. After reading the memoir, I bought copies for friends. Fauvre's spirited attemts to meet Liza provided exciting and entertaining reading. Her insights into the reasons for her fascination with Liza can be helpful to one trying to develop self knowledge. The author gives a wonderful description of Liza off stage, her appearance and personality. I felt as if I was actually in the room during their meetings. Any fan of Liza will love this book, and anyone who has strived for a seemingly impossible dream will be inspired by the author's ultimate success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imagining Liza, December 5, 2001

This review is from: Imagining Liza: Memoir of a Fan (Paperback)

This is a very unique book that would make a great film. Beverly Fauvre provides a rare look into the heart and mind of a true fan. She exposes herself and her fantasies without holding anything back. Her writing style is honest, self-effacing and illuminating. As you read the book you feel her growth as a person and by the time you reach the last page, you'll feel like you've grown a little yourself. This book is quite touching and a real treat for anyone who ever dreamed or schemed about meeting their celebrity idol in the flesh.
