Summary: the best book!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: It is a great book. I definetly recommend it. It tells what happened with the group members, first kisses, boyfriends. I never ever wanted to read a book,{BECAUSE I AM NOT A GOOD READER} but when i got the book i couldnt put it down. I read it in one day and i am a slow reader. They didnt say anything bad about farrah, letoya, or latavia. I WOULD always recommend you to get the book, and it is worth every penny. You wont be disappointed. Also it tells about their childhood, with pics which is cool.
P.S: You can have a opinion but dont hate, appreciate. Also u will probably hurt their feeling so dont say anything stupid.

Summary: A Sweet book
Review: It's a sweet book that's inspirational. It helps you see what being a star is all about. It also gives you the ability to face your imperfections--hey, the three of them acknowledge that they are not perfect and they can live with it. So the teenage years may be weird and hard, but we can get through it. I thought I new everything about these girls, but they surprised me with a few of their revelations. And all the haters just need to go away, DC3 is here to stay.

Summary: Disappointed music lover
Review: Let me be succinct! This book is a self-aggrandising piece of tripe that is lacking in objectivity. In it Beyonce furthers my understanding of why she is so disliked. She is a spotlight grabbing self-promoter attempting to illicit sympathy for her "struggles" by constantly griping about the drama in her life.
Furthermore, this pampered young woman has no concept of the words "sole survivor." What exactly has she survived?
And she continues to do heself a PR disservice by castigating the former members of her group without giving them a chance to speak their peace.
This book is not worth the paper it's written on. It just a book that is a marketing tool to promote Destiny's Child, and give the hypocritical Beyonce Knowles yet another opportunity to whine about people lying about her, hating her, blaming her. I've heard all of this before in Rolling Stone, and other national music magazines to want to sit through several hundred pages more of the same old drama dressed in new clothes.
My advice to a discerning reader, save your money. And buy some one else's book instead. You won't learn anything new here.

Summary: All Beyonce, All the Time
Review: You only need to casually flick though the pages of "Soul Survivors" to figure out everything that's wrong with this excuse of an "official" biography of Destiny's Child. Let's start with the title. Tina Turner is a soul survivor. Diana Ross, whose heyday happened at the height of the civil rights movement, is a soul survivor. These chickenheads, who fly first class everywhere around the world, dress up in designer gear, and are equipped with hairstylists, makeup artists, and video directors, are NOT soul survivors. So they had a little shakeup in the group's lineup, but so what? These ladies need to talk with Tina or Diana to really understand what it means to face adversity.The writing, it must be said, is plain and elementary. But even if you were to remove all the simple sentences and third grade prose, you get an account of the Destiny's Child story that amounts to little more than Beyonce worship. That's unfortunate, because I always wanted to give these women the benefit of the doubt, but just reading parts of this book confirmed my suspicions that DC is really Beyonce with two backup singers. I began to lose any and all respect for the group when they near-backstab Farrah Franklin, one of the new members who was fired from the group because she allegedly blew off engagements. Their account of what happened seems so biased and lacking in fairness, you actually begin to feel happy for Franklin that she broke herself free from these three little drama queens. As they say, there are two sides to every story, and I wonder what Farrah's is. If you want to get hard, unbiased facts on Destiny's Child, you'll be out of luck with this book. As a story on three soul survivors, it fails on account of the simplistic writing, the constant spotlight on Beyonce, its hypocritical tone, and their self-righteous attacks on anyone who crosses the group or Beyonce's father, Matthew. But most of all, it failed to deepen my admiration of the group. I actually own all of DC's studio albums, but just a quick glance of their biography was enough to make me respect them a little less. "Soul Survivors" is self-congratulatory at its worst.
