it was amazing
bookshelves: memoir-biography, nonfiction

I once high-fived Elton John. Colorado Springs, 2009. True Story. Tiny hands. Anyway, this autobiography is super entertaining! There’s so much I didn’t know. With zero sugar-coating, and a lot of humor, Sir Elton takes us through his incredible life. Music, fashion, heartache, addiction, etc. Plenty of name-dropping, which I guiltily devoured. I’d love to have dinner with him.

My only complaint is with the audio narration. You can hear the intakes of breath and it’s annoying as shit.

Oh, I love these memories so much!! Thanks for sharing them! 💚 I think you’ll really adore and appreciate this book.


Hayley I really liked the narration and I actually thought the intakes of breath added to the idea of someone talking to me rather than reading me a book.


Sabine I didn't notice the intakes of breath on the audio version until I read your review. Now it's annoying me, too, lol


Julia Thank you! I'm honestly surprised no one else is complaining about this. It's unfortunate because the majority of his narration is great, but I can't get past the breathing.
