A review by aserra
Me: Elton John Official Autobiography by Elton John

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.
