Say yes to biography of top girl music group,
By Kathy Atlas (Los Angeles, Calif) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yes, Yes, Yes: The Unauthorized Biography of Destiny's Child--A Tale of Destiny, Fame and Fortune (Paperback)
I am a teacher in an endless quest for good literature for my students. I have found a winner in Yes, Yes, Yes: The Unauthorized Biography of Destiny's Child. It is a very fun, upbeat and moving manuscript about the top R&B girl group that hails from Houston, Texas.The biography tells the story of four founding members of Destiny's Child and their nine years together. Author Kelly Kenyatta does a wonderful job of placing herself in that of a young adult to masterfully tell the story in a voice they can hear; she does it simply, yet with sophistication. Ms. Kenyatta takes the reader on a journey from the very first days of Destiny's Child as 9- and 10-year-olds to their time on T.V.'s "Star Search" to the death of their first manager, their beloved friend and mentor, to new management. The biography includes stories about the group's work with key people in the recording industry. Yes, Yes, Yes is star-studded, exciting and fast-paced the way we imagine the entertainment world to be. But the story is emotional and distressing at times. In the end, the group has finally made two hit albums and is at the pinnacle of its success. Changes happen and Destiny's Child is never the same again. The book takes a look at how the members work through adversity. It is about trials of friendship and family. It is about shows of great intestinal fortitude. Importantly, it is the story of hope for the future of some talented young people striving to achieve -- the founding members and new players as well. As an urban educator, I wholeheartedly believe all kids can become veracious readers. One way to inspire them is to present them with books that are of interest to them. Say "yes" to this biography. It is the kind of book my students will pick up and read right through. Or perhaps they will read it slowly as to savor each morsel of the story.

Didn't have enough pictures. Which is what I bought it for at the time. I think it's somewhere being recylced at this point.
