A review by poliver
Ordinary Girl: The Journey by Marc Eliot, Donna Summer

3.0

At times interesting but ultimately very disappointing autobiography of one of my favorite singers. The book starts out promisingly with good detail about Summer's early days in Germany. However, after she achieves stardom, there is very little discussion about her career or stories behind her famous songs. Indeed, many songs are not even mentioned. The book is very light and superficial. Most readers can get through it in one sitting. Way too much time discussing her inner turmoils about finding god. However, at times there are some fun details (who knew she was good friends with Sophia Loren?).
