Too much Jon, not enough Apollo and Thelma 

I had so much hope for this book and it’s been on my read list ever since it hit the shelves. What I ended up finding was an unnecessarily long-winded memoir about a self-interested lawyer-cum-presenter who needed to find a way to have his story heard. Instead of an interesting book about a legendary performer and his entrepreneurial, bad ass sister - I found myself wading through hundreds of pages of self gratification and humdrum career highlights with a lot of white men high-five ing each other over being a little more “woke” than the rest of them. These are some hours I will never get back.
