El secreto de Selena: la reveladora historia detrás de su trágica muerte Reviews:
Secret... ahhhhh no. 
2009-10-11 - No secret what so ever nothing is revealed. All she talks about is her work and how she covered selena death. She just profit out of selena death. Ashame.
I cannot believe someone would do this!!!
2005-08-18 - I have never read this book but by the things people are saying about it , like the fact that she would leave her husband for a surgeon, its proposturous!!! I am a HUGE Selena fan since I was 4 years old and I know for a fact I know more than this loon. I practicly studied about Selena since I became obsessed with her and I'm telling everybody right now that some of these things are 100% not true. So I would say if you want to know the truth about the wonderful Mexican-American Tejano singer, than I would suggest not wasting your money on such a book. You will never know the truth about her by reading lies. ( I hope everyone reading this believes me and doesnt waste their money!!)
Arraras knows the "secret" and you don't 
2002-08-26 - I read this in the English version. Arraras begins with an intro that states "she knows Selena's secret" and ends by explaining that, since Yolanda Saldivar told her the "secret" off the record, Arraras cannot reveal it. She says the reader needs to read between the lines to discover aspects of the secret that have since become public knowledge and were therefore OK for her to include in her book.
I'm not a big Selena fan and this account seemed balanced for the most part-- but I can see that serious fans would be upset because Arraras insists on treating Yolanda and the Saldivar family with "respect"-- she allows them their say. Although Arraras admits that Yolanda is manipulative, evasive and less than honest, Arraras seems to let this pass, avoiding confrontation in order to preserve her exclusive relationship with Yolanda and the Saldivars.
SPOILER: For what it's worth, the secret apparently was that Selena may have been planning to leave her husband, may have been romantically involved with a plastic surgeon in Mexico, may have been planning to take up residence in Mexico and open a clothing factory there, pursuing a career in the fashion industry against her father's wishes.
THIS IS THE WORST BOOK IVE EVER READ AND THE AUTHOR ...
2002-07-15 - THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS BOOK WAS GETTING IT FINISHED AND THE SELENA PICS, TO BAD I DIDN'T HAVE A FIRE PLACE SO I COULD THROUGH IT IN I WAS A SELENA FAN FOR A YEAR WHEN I BOUGHT THE BOOK AND I DIDN'T BELIEVE ONE LIE ABOUT HER AND IF SOMEONE ACUTELY THINK THIS BOOK WAS GOOD IS NOT A REAL SELENA FAN THIS BOOK IS NOTHING BUT ... AND BELONGS IN THE TRASH, THE TRASH CAN IS EVEN TO GOOD FOR THIS BOOK IT BELONGS IN A FIRE PLACE WHERE IT CAN DISAPPEAR FOR EVER, ALL THE AUTHOR CARED ABOUT WAS THE MONEY, I COULD WRITE A BETTER BOOK ABOUT SELENA WITH THE TRUTH, WRITING A BOOK ABOUT SELENA ISN'T ABOUT THE MONEY ITS ABOUT GETTING THE TRUTH OUT ABOUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND WHO SHE REALLY WAS AND ITS ALSO ABOUT LETTING HER NEWER FANS KNOW MORE ABOUT HER AND LETTING PEOPLE SEE THE COOL OUTFITS, POSES AND CONCERT PICS THAT SHE DID, SO DON'T BUY ITS NOT WORTH THE MONEY OUR THE TIME
Pure Speculation!
2002-03-28 - This book is called Selena's Secret. You won't find out anything secret about Selena in this book. The author spends most of the book patting herself on the back for the objectivity she used when reporting Yolanda Saldivar's trial. She keeps hinting that there is this big secret about Selena to share when in the end nothing is revealed. If you want a more accurate book on Selena's life, check out Como La Flor by Joe Nick Patoski because all you get in "Secret" is a bunch of gossip.
