4.0 out of 5 stars A must to have to all Selena fans!, November 8, 2001

By	Tanja Santaoja (Ulvila, FINLAND) - See all my reviews

This book is written so well.The book goes through Selena`s life and career.And it of course includes inside informations and pictures about Selena and her dear and loving husband Chris.I wish there`ll be more information and pictures about the life of the two lovebirds.Because despite the ugly and mean rumours about Selena and Chris ,i truly and deeply believe that they were very happy together and very much in love.They were planning their future very seriously,a new house and kids.She wanted to have 5 kids.
There are also very sad pictures of her funeral and her coffin.The pictures make you feel very sad and frustrated.I mean the big question in my mind was and is, WHY? Why she has to die?What was the meaning of this?
But i really think that this book is very useful and brilliant to all Selena fans out there. The pictures of the book are generally awesome and great!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Touching Book Of The Beloved Selena, December 1, 1999

By	JL (New York) - See all my reviews

This book contained intersting facts about her life. Selena was a role model to Latinos and inspired many. She was a very trusting,caring,and loving individual. When I read this book I was touched and I learned certain things about Selena that I did not know of. I finished this book in 2days, its a book you just can't put down. I recommend it and i'm sure Selena fans as well as those who don't know much about Selena will enjoy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Did the authors get their degrees in public relations?, January 26, 2001

By	Kevin Goss "[e-mail]" (Tempe, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

Remembering Selena/Recordando a Selena is a must-have for Selena's fans. It is filled with page after page of glossy photos of the fallen star. However, the superficiality of the book destins it to become a dust-collector on coffee tables everywhere. I haven't opened my copy of the book in a few years. Simply stated, there's nothing in it to capture my interest -- no fascinating stories or new information regarding the singer. Selena's story ran deeper than this glossy P.R. tool would allow one to believe. Buy it for the pictures, but don't buy it if you want to know more about Selena. Selena - Como la Flor, by Joe Nick Patoski; and Selena's Secret, by Maria Celest Arraras, are more interesting reads if you want more than just a shallow look into the life of one of Tejano music's greatest performers.
