I love this woman! Her voice really shines through in this frank memoir.

Tapestry was the very first album I bought and I was looking forward to this. I found it disappointingly bland.

I felt like I was catching up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. Yes, there are parts that maybe don't move so fast, but that's how life is. I applaud Carole's honesty in telling her story, even the parts that are hard to tell. She is an incredible talent and, at from what I got from the book, a a kind, compassionate, warm person who 'walks her talk'. She does seem to get up every morning with a smile on her face and shows the world all the love in her heart!

Very interesting first half of the book. I was amazed at her history and songs I didn't realize she had written. Second half of the book was slow and not as entertaining to me but obviously very important to her.

I loved this book from beginning to end. I was a flower child of the 60s and related to so much of what she wrote. Sans her personal story - I felt I was reading the story of my own life. It was a great trip down memory lane. I would recommend it to anyone who lived through the 60s & 70s ... I think you would like it as much as I did!

I agree, it's a two star read with no energy or connection to the incredible life that is Carole King. I would pass this by.

While she's certainly lived through interesting times in the music world, as a biographer, she should stick to writing lyrics. The book has no energy, no real connection to the reader. It's flat. And that's too bad, because I'm sure she has a very interesting story to tell, and I've always loved her music. Disappointing.
