Book Review 1-09

I read this book. Do you know Ricky Martin? I knew his name, but I didn't know much about him. After finished the book, I was interested in him. The story is as follows.

Ricky Martin was born in 1971 on December 24. His name was Enrique Martin Morales IV, but they called him "Kiki." The family lived in San Juan, Puerto Rico. "Kiki is a Christmas boy", Nereica's mother said. "He's going to be famous." A year later, Kiki went to an audition for TV commercial with his father. He did the job, and the TV station wanted to work with him again. After that, kiki did eleven commercials in five years. Now, he wasn't only famous in his street. Nereida's "Christmas boy " was famous in all of Puerto Rico. He was only ten.
A year later, Kiki auditioned for the band Menudo. the boy's in the band were young, but they were stars in Latin America. They sang and danced. People loved to watch them. Kiki did well at the audition, but Menudo didn't want him in the band, because he was short. He tries to the audition, he was in the number of Menudo band!!
Kiki had a good time with Meudo, but his job wasn't all good.Sometimes, kiki worked over at night, so he didn't see his friends or his family every day. Rickey finished with Menudo in 1989. "The band was good for me and good for my music," Ricky remembered later, but it was bad for my family.
After Menudo, Ricky went back to school. Then school finished, he stayed in New York. He loved New York and stayed there. His mother wasn't very happy, but New York was important for Ricky. He wanted to perform in front of people again. Then, he said goodbye to New York and moved to Mexico.
He liked to act , dance and sing. He also sells some CD's. His CD was a big success for Ricky in Latin America. He performed the songs at concerts in a lot of countries.
After six months, he made a new CD, Me Amaras. This was a big success, too, but it was a Spanish success. Not many people talked about Rickey Mortin in the United States. Ricky wanted to be a success in English, too. He stopped doing concerts and went to Los Angeles. He wanted to be a famous singer, but he wanted to act again, too. At first, he didn't all good, but he made a new CD, was a big success. Suddenly, people wanted to see Rickey sing in concert. In 1996, he went back to New York. For three months, he was Marius in the show Les Miserables.
