challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

If I ever write a memoir I want it to be like this. Owning my wrongs, laying everything on the table, and just going for it. I've always been a fan and this made me love Elton even more.

Elton’s John’s story is a mix of emotions, that explains how he got to where he is and a lot of the ideas behind his music.

Sought this out after hearing about it on The Book Pile podcast. Love the humor throughout, and the way the author calls himself out on his own bad behavior. Feels like sitting down with a cup of tea and chatting with a favorite uncle.
