4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read if you are a fan, May 23 2003

By	Kelly Ballard (Brisbane, AU) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Angel Standing By is an excellent read if you don't know how Jewel came to be standing where she is today. It follows her life from her childhood right up to a few months before her second album Spirit is released. The story is intriguing and if you are already a fan of her work, you will enjoy this book.

The only downside to this book, is that while I assume those close to Jewel were interviewed about Jewel's life, Jewel herself was not interviewed. There are quotes from Jewel in here that are written from a second persons' viewpoint.

Aside from that, it's a great tale and an inspiration to those who are waiting to be discovered.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, Jan 17 2003

By	A. Milne (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was disappointed by this book. Though the stories in it are undoubtedly true and it does describe how difficult Jewel's road to stardom was, it seemed to read more like a chronology of events than an in-depth look at her career. Quotes were interpersed throughout from Jewel and those close to her, but the author never actually interviewed her himself. You could easily find much of the factual information online for free and if you know what EDA stands for, you probably know most of it already anyway.

If you are looking for more insight into Jewel's life and career, I would suggest her autobiography "Chasing Down the Dawn". If you want inspiration for making dreams come true and listening to your soul, "The Architecture of All Abundance" by Lenedra Carroll (Jewel's mom) is a must-read. If you're still thinking about this book, read the online "look inside" excerpt pages first - that's almost 20% of the book right there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jewel-Fans sollten dieses Buch lesen !, Jun 1 1999

By A Customer

Man kommt nicht �ber dieses Buch zu Jewel, sondern �ber ihre Musik. Wer diese Musik liebt und mehr �ber Jewel erfahren will, sollte dieses Buch lesen. Es ist in einem recht einfach und fl�ssig zu lesenden Englisch geschrieben, so da� sogar ich den Inhalt verstand. Mag sein das nicht alle Fakten stimmen, aber wo findet man das schon. Wer Jewel liebt wird sie nach diesem Buch anbeten, den ihr wurde NICHTS geschenkt.
