Insight to a really powerful woman that Tori is.
Understanding her thought process in writing some of her songs and hearing about her compassion for her fans and her family is a truly heartening experience.
Having been a fan of Tori Amos from high school it’s amazing to hear her read her story on how she keeps up the good fight and how her muse works.

I'm not what you would call a fan of Tori Amos. Not that I dislike her or her art, she's someone I definitely have admired from a far given what I knew, but I'm not interested enough to spend more time on this. Read at an incredibly slow pace. And tied to her songs but since I don't know her songs, so it read (audio) very odd and random to me.

I have little to say about this book really - it was interesting for sure but let me put it this way: for me Tori’s music speaks for itself in more powerful ways.

Great story. The narrator was not my favorite. Like at all. I had to speed it up to 1.6x to even pretend to enjoy it.

For me, seeing Tori play a live show is my church. I think I've only missed one tour. It's like seeing the ocean, it resets me. Her music has gotten me through major fixed points in my life. So when I got to the chapters regarding Mary....
See... in 2003 my father died from his second stroke. If you have lived through seeing a loved one survive and then succumb to a stroke, you know. You're part of that club. I had tickets to see the Scarlett's Walk tour three days after he passed. I hesitated to go, and after much urging by loved ones I went. I cried through most of it but it was what I needed. I'm sp grateful for that tour. I couldn't speak at my father's funeral the next week. I played Gold Dust instead.
These chapters about Mary. They bring me back and I'm grateful for those, too.
