I would stay away from this book. This book is very inaccurate, and it is poorly written. "Everybody knows that Lisa Lopes moved to Atlanta by herself, and that she met T-boz through Rico Wade not some nightclub. If you want to know the real story about Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes get the VH1 Behind The Music "TLC" and the Left Eye Tribute in S2S magazine.

This book is a dissappointment and not even worth the [money]. Most of the information in the book is very INACCURATE and does Left Eye's fans a disservice. Instead of a honest approach to it's subject, this book comes across as a lazy analysis and tool for expoitation of a celebrity who died too soon. I reccommend readers SKIP THIS BOOK!!

I ordered two books recently, one being Aaliyah: an R&B princess in words and pictures and the other Lisa Lopes: The life of a supernova. I have to say that the latter surpasses the first. While Aaliyah's biography by Kelly Kenyatta was somewhat childish and too fairy-tale-like, Lisa's, on the other hand, is a superb and brilliant tribute to the talented artist and beautiful person she was. Unlike Kelly Kenyatta, who seems to pretend that Aaliyah was absolutely perfect, Nancy Krulik does not try to hide Lisa's weaknesses from the reader. We all knew she made several mistakes in her life, like burning down her boyfriend's mansion, and that she had drinking problems. But all this didn't make her a less good and caring person. In spite of her crazy side, feuds with the other TLC members and all, we truely feel that Lisa was searching for inner peace. Sadly, before she passed away, she seemed to had found it.
RIP, Left Eye.

This book was good. However as some one mentioned the author did make some mistakes. She left out two of Lisa's guest appearances in the back of the book. 1997 Nothing to Lose Soundtrack - "Not Tonight(remix)"- Angie Martinez, Lil' Kim, Da Brat, Left Eye and Missy Elliot. I don't know how you miss that record since it was such a hit. Not only that she missed another guest song from 1997 off of Will Smith's cd "Big Willie Style". The fifteenth song was titled "Big Willie Style" and it featured Left Eye. I was very surprised that the author missed these important songs. I mean they were major songs that Left Eye did , I don't know how she missed them while doing her research which leaves me to believe that she is not a Hip-Hop & R+B fan, cuz I'm sure a lot of people know about these songs.

this book was great i loved it i saw a coment of someone who didn't like the book u have no respect for left eye! please bye this book the other guy was just a jerk i would love to see him right a better book on lisa i give it five stares
