Salsa Lover

This book still holds up. While it takes Gloria's life up through 1997, it is a good read. Also a Spanish edition is in the same volume. It is not all flattering to Gloria and is filled with facts and good information. Could use an update.

IS IT AUTHORIZED???????????????

This was a really good book, considering it had hardly anything to do with who Gloria is as a person, but of other information that is ALL new to me. Is this book authorized, because I'm just really interested to know if that information is accurate. Good Book.

A balanced and insightful view of this amazing rock star.

I read half of this book, since this book is half the English version, and the other half is the Spanish version. Being a fan of hers, I found it very interesting. It isn't all flattering to Gloria, for it tells of some of her legal disputes, financial disputes, and arguements with band associates and relatives. It gives some insight as to how she got to be such a famous rock star, and some of the reasons people admire her so much.
