Good book As a huge Selena fan, I couldn't wait to read this book. It started out really well and I enjoyed reading about Abrahams past and Selena's time as a child but I found one thing in the book that I know for certain isn't true which led me to doubt other facts about the rest of the book. Chris and Selena eloped on their own terms, even Chris himself has made that very clear in his own book. In "Como La Flor", it states that once Abraham fired Chris from the group, Selena was so torn up and . I was disappointed. It appears that most of the material the I was disappointed. It appears that most of the material the writer used were notes and articles based on other people's research, based on the notes and references toward the end of the book. He seemed to want to talk more about the history of Tejano music than of Selena. Most of the book had nothing to do with Selena's life and I got the impression that he looked down on Chris Perez, because he was the one fortunate enough to have Selena's love.this book is no biography, as the writer .

But as she enjoyed professional success beyond her wildest dreams, her personal life had more than its share of troubles. Now, her life, her work, and her musical legacy have been lovingly documented in Selena: Como la Flor. Selena Quintanilla was a vibrant musical performer, wildly pouplar in the growing field of Tejano music. At the time of her death, Selena was poised to break into the mainstream music scene
From Library Journal The 1995 murder of 23-year-old singer Selena has had a continuing impact, especially on the Hispanic community. Highly recommended for popular music collections and for libraries serving Mexican American communities. Patoski, a senior editor at Texas Monthly, seems well acquainted with the world of Tejano music and the part Selena played in it, and his biography is more objective than other works on Selena.
