Customer Reviews

Good book, great pictures
Aaliyah will never die! After reading this book, I am very convinced of that. The book has a lot of never-before-seen pictures of Aaliyah looking so lively,pictures with Missy, Damon,
Stacey Dash and a lot of other people. The story is so heartwarming I was in tears reading it, yes, it's been almost a year and I still miss Aaliyah Dana Houghton. She will be with us forever, just like Lisa Lopes, Tupac and Biggie. Some people have that effect on us and Aaliyah does more than anyone I can think of.

Great comments and Photos
It took a while for the book to come because I order it but I can say it was worth the wait. The research on Aaliyah in this book is very good. I learned somethings I never knew about Aaliyah in this book. They mentioned things about Missy Elliot and Timbaland and the earlier days with R Kelly. It was cool to read how much power was wrapped up in that one little lady. I had to get this book. The book just ended too quick. Aaliyah, your example will be missed. We love you babygirl.

Always missed.
Aaliyah was a true inspiration in life and still remains to be in the after-life. This book told Aaliyah's story and the pictures were also a nice addition. The only thing that faltered in this book were the small spelling errors on the picture pages. Other than that, this book should be in all Aaliyah fan collections.
