The photos alone are worth your time, but stay for the infographics and large amount of behind-the-scenes info on all things Queen Bey!
Valerie S, Reviewer
A wonderfully informative and fact-filled biography loaded with easy to absorb graphs, photos and text. It shares all things Beyoncé from her beginnings, all about her love for music, how her different girl group evolutions came about as such. And more recently, the announcement that she's carrying twins last February. I found it enjoyable and was really impressed with how much she has accomplished in her young life so far. With the amazing work ethic this lady has, it's no wonder she's so massively successful in so many different things. I hadn't realized how many businesses she is involved in along with her singing, recording, writing, and producing career before I read about her, not to mention all of the charities, (over 30). And now with 2 more children added to her family, twins Rumi and Sir, one figures that life must be pretty full. I was given a free ecopy of this book for my review.

It was like Christmas came early when I got the notification that I was approved to read this book! I am a lover of all things Beyonce and this book hit the spot. The author does a great job of immersing the reader in the life of Beyonce and the pictures and information that accompany it are totally amazing! This would be an amazing holiday gift for any Beyonce fan!

This book was fantastic. Such fun to read with the many graphics and illustrations and I loved the range of facts and stories about Beyonce. So interesting and eye opening to how she became who she is. I would definitely gift this to someone (and to myself!)

This is a nice biography. Not a lot of new information and if you are looking for gossip you will be disappointed. There are a lot good photographs that trace her life through the years. The graphs are different and fun. It is obvious the author is a fan. This book will appeal to casual and diehard fans. Enjoy
