Aaliyah: More Than a Woman
by Christopher John Farley
by Christopher John Farley
In reading the beginning of the book, I really could not get into the book. The author discussed a lot of things, which I felt strayed away from the subject matter. I wanted him to focus more on Aaliyah, so I would have a chance in understanding her better.
After reading the first 30 pages, this is when the transition started. I noticed that Aaliyah's story was being told; however there were still portions in the book that did not seem like they should have been a part of the book. An example of this was regarding focusing a lot on other artists, where it seemed as if Aaliyah was part of a book about various artists.
What the book did provide me with was an opportunity to understand the role that Aaliyah's family played in her career, how she was respected, and how she helped so many people. She was a beautiful young woman, who showed the world that she cared about others and the things she could change. She will always be missed
