Selena: como la flor [Selena: Like the Flower]

De: Joe Nick Patoski

Narrado por: Joe Nick Patoski

Selena Quintanilla was a vibrant musical performer, wildly pouplar in the growing field of Tejano music. But her rising star suddenly fell when she was murdered at the age of 23. Now, her life, her work, and her musical legacy have been lovingly documented in Selena: Como la Flor.

At the time of her death, Selena was poised to break into the mainstream music scene. But as she enjoyed professional success beyond her wildest dreams, her personal life had more than its share of troubles. There was family tension surrounding her marriage to guitarist Chris Perez, and mounting pressure between her and the manager of her fashion boutiques, Yolanda Saldivar.

Best-selling author Joe Nick Patoski recounts both the ups and downs of Selena's life, as well as her stunning transformation into a sensual Latina superstar. For the first time, Patoski reads his unabridged work for audio listeners.

The Story

Didn't Seem Edited At All, Would've Been Enjoyable If It Were Edited, Unfortunate End To A Great Performer..

Story telling

Overall I’d give this story a 3.5, the narrator was not terrible, but there were moments where I found myself zoning out, or dozing off. The actual story and insight into Selena’s life and background that was not made clear or mentioned in the movie is appreciated though.

worthy

Very long book but well worth it for a Selena fan. gives inside details of the book and Selena inside of her story

Terrible reading.

I don't like the reading.... making me get the book. it was a wasted purchases.

Editing!

Love this book and the author’s delivery. However, this audio needs editing. The mistakes and re-reads are not taken out and it’s quite distracting. A simple edit to remove mistakes would make a world of difference for the performance.
