5.0 out of 5 stars Jennifer and her RISE to the top..., August 11, 2003

This review is from: J.Lo: The Secret Behind Jennifer Lopez's Rise to the Top (Paperback)

This book really teaches you the struggles to J.Lo's success. You realize a lot of things that happened to Jennifer through-out her life. But, most importantly, you see, that it hasn't been all peaches and cream for J.LO. She struggled to get were she is, and, i deeply admire her for that.

The book itself, is not a newbarry award winner, but it definetely deserves praises. It is highly enjoyable, and entertaining. It'll make you laugh, think, and learn to respect the struggles of another person, and what they have been through. Though when you see this book it might look kind-of goofy, "don't judge a book by it's cover"!

It is very thrilling to see the rise of a superstar, especially when you know all the sweat and tears that they have passed in order to be where they are know! And, unfortunately for the people that descriminate J.Lo just because they don't like her, she really is one of those artists. And it really shows with this book!

So..., go get "J.Lo's secreat climb to the top" because i highly recomend it!

1.0 out of 5 stars I knew what I was getting in to..., July 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: J.Lo: The Secret Behind Jennifer Lopez's Rise to the Top (Paperback)

I knew that I would be buying a book of complete worthlessness but seeing as I am a HUGE fan, I didn't care. Its just another piece of fanfanalia.

The book is a compilation of quotes from Bennifer, their family members and "sources" quoted from National Enquirer and Star past articles. Its hilarious how they bascially meld her life story with inadvertant quotes from past interviews and complete untruths from said "sources".

There are some grainy b/w photos in the middle for your enjoyment, but contrary to what the title claims, you do not learn the secrets to her success.

Darn.

This review is from: J.Lo: The Secret Behind Jennifer Lopez's Rise to the Top (Paperback)

THIS BOOK CONCERNS THE LIFE AND CAREER OF JENNIFER LOPEZ. IT HAS SOME NICE FACTS AND STORIES. I FOUND THIS TO BE AN INTERSTING READ. IT HAS SOME GOSSIP AND TIDBITS CONCERNING HER INSECURITIES ABOUT MEN, BEING ASHAMED OF HER FAMOUS BOOTY AND EVEN SOME BEDROOM SECRETS FROM HER FIRST HUSBAND. I LIKED THIS AND FOUND IT AN ENTERTAINING READ.
