Ladies First : Revelations of a Strong Woman

Rating:
Summary: Yes, I Am A Queen
Review: I purchased this book initially to get to know more about Dana Owens but instead I learned more about myself. I took my time reading the book because after every chapter or so I had to stop and check myself. I felt as though Queen Latifah was seated in front of me and reading pages from my life. My life does not come close to hers but yet I felt as though it did. I agree that every now and then as women we must stop and do our own personal inventory. Am I who I want to be and is God pleased with who I am?

Summary: Can't say enough
Review: Ladies First is one of the best autobiographies i've read. Queen Latifah tell us all how to be a strong woman, she let's us know we have to think a lot of ourselves no matter the situation. I was so sad when I read about the death of her beloved brother. Looking at the pictures she included in the book I could tell they were very close. I liked the part at the end of the book, when Queen let women know they need to be confident about themselves before they should start dating a guy, and that women need to have more respect for themselves when it come to dating. I think all women should get a copy of Ladies First

Summary: ~* life about Queen Latifah~*
Review: Ladies First is the uplifting story of the author. Queen Latifah is known to be the first female to be a solo rapper and get a record deal. She has also become a top television actress and movie star. She got a Grammy and became the president of her own company. Ladies First is about a girl named Dana Owens who is from Newark, New Jersey and how she becomes Queen Latifah and the things she went through because of a tragic death.
The content of the book is organized pretty well. It starts when her mom, Rita Owens, talking about Queen Latifah's younger days, then moves to Queen Latifah talking about what became of her. The book is quite easy to read. It has vocabulary and slang of a ghetto life style.
The book rates a five stars, as it is extremely interesting to read and written well enough that readers are easily able to become involved. I recommend this book to anyone who listens to her music or understands her lyrics.

Summary: VERY INSPIRATIONAL
Review: The book Ladies First is about Queen Latifah, also known as Dana Owens. Queen Latifah is one of the world's most known actress and filmmakers of our time. She has been in many movies and made many albums, as well as starting her own talk show. Beginning her singing career at a young age, Queen Latifah make her mane known through her music. Being a rap artist, many people considered her a thug, but she really wasn't the best for everyone. The book Ladies First focuses a lot on her family and her point of view on life. The main part of the book that was glossed over was her music life.
Ladies First was well written, and easy to read. There were a few slang words, but not so bad that you could not read them. It was pretty well organized, but jumped around some. I thought that she showed great perseverance when telling how she kept going and never quit. There were many hard times in her life, and it tells about them, whereas most people would have given up. I think it could have been improved by discussing more about her. It kind of drifted away from her a bit.
I gave this book four stars because it shows that anyone can make it at what they want. I would recommend this book to people if they like the kind of thug/music lifestyle. Some people would not like this book if they do not understand the kind of life that one has to work for. I thought Queen Latifah was trying to send the 'you can do anything' message across, which is and awesome message to send to people that want to give up on their dreams. I thought the book Ladies First sent out that message very well.

Summary: Could've been more informative
Review: This book isn't like most biographies. It isn't another glamorous tale about a flawless mediaperson. It is a true tale about the wonderful person that is Queen Latifah. What makes this book so different, is that she tells you about the mistakes she has made in her life, about her flaws, and about her strengths. You get to know her in a way that isn't possible with most famous people, because you never hear about their flaws. That makes them unreal. But this is a tale about a real person's road to fame. And it is written in a great way. A must read for all her fans, and for everyone that are looking for answers in their life. You can learn a lot from her experience. I would highly recommend it!
