Definitely go the audiobook route for the musical extras and just to hear Brandi read in her own voice. I can’t say I agree with her entire personal philosophy, but she is undoubtedly someone who draws you in and makes you feel warm and welcome.

Broken Horses is a candid and honest window in to Brandi Carlile's upbring, inspirations, opinions, and musical journey. It is intimate and personal and frank, and that makes it such an enjoyable book. It feels like a conversation.

I have to highly recommend audiobook, which contains exclusive covers and acoustic versions of some of Carlile's most popular songs at the end of every chapter. Also, at the end, there is a nearly two hour section of the music within back-to-back. This alone makes it superior to the other versions.

My gripes with this book ar very minor - it sometimes feels disjointed, especially at chapter breaks, but Carlile herself admits she isn't a writer. All in all, it's a decent memoir.
