Etta James has had an interesting life. The reader is swept through years of personal physical and financial abuse, musical history, tragedies, family upheavals and wonderfully happy times - all without regret. Her language is crisp and straightforward. The reader travels with Ms. James through her edgey existence. Ms. James's encounters with the famous and the infamous makes the book meaty and hard to put down. Unfortunately for the reader, her story is much too short. Clearly, Ms. James has so much more to tell. After seeing her in concert (a fabulous performer, by the way) it's understood that she has a book in her. A quick search revealed that yes, there is a book. Why did it take me so long to discover a great story? An excellent read.
LOVE MY PURCHASE AWSOME
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I think this hardcover book is a very good read. It shows the real side of Etta James, it contains quite a few photos. All and all the good is worth what I paid for it. Unlike other Bio books this book doesn't hold anything back! She tells it like it is, no sugar coating here. I bought the book because I love her music.
