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.

aserra's review against another edition

funny slow-paced

2.5

The story of Elton John is magnificent, and not at all the reason for the rating. What brings this memoir down is the quality of the writing. I would be very interested to read an Elton John memoir ghostwritten by someone else (most certainly someone who does not write for The Guardian). What should be an inspiring, poignant, humorous tale is instead a slog through the life of a wonderful person.

The pictures are wonderful, though. I will retain my copy for those alone.
