Summary: The Usual Quickie Bio of a Good Singer and Vibrant Performer
Review: Essentially that title sums it up. The problem with most of these kinds of books is they cover every facet of the performer's life (and Jewel has had a more interesting one than most) but they are too close in time and too enthusiastic to be definitive on the career of someone who is clearly talented and articulate but has a long way to go to develop to the level of those whom we will remember a hundred years on. This is a source on a life in progress not anywhere near a final word and analysis.

Summary: Baring of a Soul...
Review: I read this book a few years ago, but I thought it was very informative to see inside a person's soul who is as genuine as they come. Like most biographies the stars are more into telling shocking stories(true or not) to find a fan base. Jewel has nothing to hide and she puts her softest most fragile thoughts into all her work; that is what kept my curiosity at its highest level- her amount of sincerity. I have found through reading all her books that she has influenced me dramatically. It is amazing that in the height of the alternative movement in music; here comes a young girl from Alaska singing music from the heart about everyday events, so she changes the format of music completely to a much softer more meaningful kind of sound... I am sure if a lot more people would listen to their heart more and not be so impulsive things could be a lot better in the world today.

Summary: The story of an Alaskan angel living in California
Review: This is basically your typical celebrity biography that is quickly (if not thoroughly) written to make a buck on a star's popularity. But having said that, this is a good, breezy bio which will be enough for the average indiscriminating Jewel fan who just wants to know a bit more about her personally. The book is a bit dated by now, but still worth a read.
