kez91 's review for:
Me: Elton John Official Autobiography
by Elton John
I've gotten more into biographies in the last couple of years so I've read a fair few, but this one is definitely a standout. Elton doesn't seem to have shied away from talking about any aspect of his life, as crazy and dark as some of that has been. There are too many interesting moments in this biography to mention, but I was especially moved by his description of meeting- and being saddened by- Elvis Presley, and the way he reflects on meeting David and starting a family. I both read this and also listened to the audiobook, and I have to say the audiobook is one of the best I've listened to. Admittedly my love for Taron Egerton was a contributing factor in my deciding to listen to the book as well, but he genuinely is a fantastic narrator, and he adds a whole other layer of passion and humour and heart into the story. So, not only do I recommend this autobiography, I really recommend listening to the audiobook version as well. Elton really has led a fascinating and at times unbelievable life, so it's pretty cool to be able to hear his reflections of it in his own words.
