Rating:  Summary: Yawn...... Review: ....poorly written re-hash of "Rock's Mystical Lady". This book was so unnecessary!!! If you are a Stevie Nicks fan, you could do your own research on the web and get more information yourself! Don't bother reading this book. As for the pictures....they are all black and white...not that great...some are interesting. If Wincentsten was aiming to do a photo book on Stevie, he should have marketed it as such and gone all out with color photos, ect. He should definitely give up trying to "write" about her. This is info my 10 yr old sister could find online.

Rating:  Summary: A Glimpse into Stevie's World Review: Being a huge Stevie Nicks fan there hasnt been a lot of books out there that are written about her life. I was thrilled that this book actually existed. Even though this book isn't a real authentic biography of her life, it still allows the reader to take a glimpse into the world she created for her music and her fans. There are great black and white photo's of her inside the book and there unique drawings of her in the book as well. Hope that another Stevie books comes out soon....until then this one will do.
Rating:  Summary: Lady of the Stars: Stevie Nicks Review: First I must say "Hats off to you Edward Wincentsen" for bringing the magic of Stevies' soul to us. I truly believe that the timing of this book being completed during her "Street Angel" tour was perfect. What better words to describe the existence of the the world than the opening lyrics to the song "Jane" from the "Street Angel" CD--such a little girl--such a hard life she could look a challenge--right between the eyes disappointment...would become her middle name..... Stevie has had to look challenges right between her eyes and this book takes the reader with her. Stevie, you are an amazing lady of the planet with a kind and loving old soul....just as you say "Don't change...baby, please don't change..... Magic 'n' Moonlight, Cyndi Prince

Rating:  Summary: Mostly pictures Review: I bought this book thinking it was going to be a biography on Stevie. When I got it I found it to be a thin book with about 90% pictures. The man talked a bit about how he tried to get her to authorize it in the beginning. Then it was all black and white picutes. A few are kinda nice but most are just from a concert taken and they aren't real nice depictions of her. Toward the end he blabbers on about some other artists. Some Tori Amos lady and some other people. I can learn more about Stevie from reading articles free off the internet. I think it was a waste of money (...) on some black and white pictues that I could find better ones free off the internet. Don't waste your money on this book. It teaches you nothing about Stevie. I wish someone would just write a book about her. Like mabye Stevie should do one. She's supposed to but it says it was never published. The moral: don't bother. (...) I could have gotton that Street Angel cd I need!
Rating:  Summary: This book is not worth the money or even your time! Review: I did not like this book because all's the author did was take quotes from other books or magizines and make them into a book! The only thing I enjoyed was the pics of Stevie! The pics were great! No wonder Stevie did not help, the book was terrible. The only reason I got it was tosee the great pics, but they too are weird! they are all in black and white and the author does not even give a caption! So save your bucks if your looing for something to read, if alls you want is unexplainable pictures this is your book!
Rating:  Summary: Speculation,Rumors,Redundant, Trite! Review: I have followed and been a fan of Stevie Nicks for over 19 years. The speculation on her private beliefs are enormous, and frankly quite trite! Can we please RESPECT her right to decide what to make public?!This book offers little truth, mostly photo's and art.(Johanna Pieterman's artwork is worth seeing) He seems to indicate that a friend of Stevie's gave him information to help with the book, however, what can we learn through the grapevine that we haven't heard before! This author would benefit by properly describing his content in the future. Both books are misleading and most of the content is not positive.I know that the money spent on this book would have been better used by a charity.
Rating:  Summary: lady of the stars stevie nicks Review: i really enjoyed this book and i want to somewhere down the road purchase the other stevie nicks book.it helped me to understand her better since some or most of are able to meet some one famous.i ve always wanted to meet stevie nicks that s always been a dream of mine. and the book on her was really,really good thank you
Rating:  Summary: Comical piece of work Review: No wonder Stevie Nicks wouldn't help with this work! It has very little value: There's the tiniest of chances that one of his multitude of pictures contains a caption; and, if that's not 14pt type on the entire five pages of text in this book ... I'm the pope. A ridiculous waste of $12.00. Recommendation: Run, don't walk away from this turkey.
