Customer Reviews

Number 1 Fan

I have to say that this book was very informative and told me loads of things about Alanis that i though i already knew. This is a must have for any fan as you get to understand Alanis as a normal person rather than just another million selling artist. This book shows that Alnais is true and as devoted to her life as we are to her

You Live You Learn was Great

When my communications teacher assigned a 5-8 minute informative speech, I thought what better time than now to talk about Alanis. I thought I knew just about everything on her, and what I didn't know I figured I'd be able to find on the internet and in magazines. When my professor said no magazines or internet addresses allowed, I about died. I had some trouble finding a lot of information other than magazine articles on Alanis, but after I found this book I had all I needed. It was not only informative, but extremely interesting and something I actually enjoyed reading. I found that I knew very little of Alanis and her past, and after reading it I had gained a great sense of respect and admiration for her. She is truly an amazing, talented person both musically and in her personality. She really enjoys her music, and lives through it, which is clearly evident after reading this book. I would definately reccommend it to anyone wishing to learn more about her.

Excellent read on a popular star

Alanis Morrisette keeps on winning new fans, I'm included. Even though her album Jagged Little Pill was played continously on the radio, this book helped me realize what a talented and devoted person she is to her music and songwriting. With her new single, "Uninvited," this book came out at the right time... letting me in on her upbringing, background and early years as a songstress in Canada. If you're a fan, read this book!

You Live, You Learn

Besides Paul Cantins book of Alanis Morissette this is the very best Alanis book. Well, it is definately among the best. If you need Up To Date information on Alanis this is the book to read. It is the most recent written Alanis book, and has info on both the Tibetan Freedom Concert and Bridge School Benefit. It has eight pages of color pictures. If you would like to view the cover, it has the same picture as "Death Of Cinderella" except smaller, and the backround is of Alanis facing up like praying or something. The pictures are all black and white, however they are beautiful RARE ones (like Alanis and Madonna and Alanis running in the triathalon in mid summer 1997.) The review I wrote before is fiction. I hadn't even taken one look at the book, however now I have it. It is an awesome Alanis book. I think that any Alanis fan MUST!!!!!!!!!! have it.

Alanis Morissette: You Live You Learn

I think that this book goes a lot along with Death Of Cinderella (by Stuart Coles). It has a lot of the same text. The pictures are not your regular Alanis Morissette pictures, but they are good. There are a few mistakes on this book (Like on page 37) I would really recommend Paul Cantin's book as #1 though. You may be impressed. JpnOldMan
