Review 2020:

I loved this. After seeing the movie Rocketman and falling in love with it, this was a very nice follow up.
The writing and narration were very good.
The writing was sometimes a bit all over the place, therefore not the full 5 stars.

Review 2021: 

Going from 4 stars to 5 stars, because I just loved it! Probably also because the movie is one of my favs as well.

Review previously placed on my blog 2020:

I'm currently reading Me by Elton John. I'm listening to the audiobook narrated by Elton John and Taron Egerton, got it from Spotify for free. 

Really liking this book so far. I really loved the movie Rocketman and it's fun to get to know the details from that story. The narration is super good and therefore it keeps me interested. The story itself is fun to read, but the writing is a little bit all over the place sometimes. Think I would give it 3,5 stars so far.

A solid autobiography. Gave it 4 stars. Nothing else to add. 

Review previously placed on my blog 2021: 

I'm currently reading Me by Elton John. I'm listening to the audiobook narrated by Taron Eggerton. I'm reading this for Nonfiction November for the prompt: Industry.

This is a reread for me. I'm super loving it again. More than the first time, because I gave it only 4 stars then. But I probably love it more since watching the movie, which has become one of my favorites of all time. 

I loved this even more than the first time! I think because I love the movie so much, it connected with me more this time around. All the things Elton tells us about celebrities and his life is just so interesting and ridiculous, I love it. I also love that it shows more than the movie, especially because the movie ends when Elton is still pretty young. I just loved this a lot! Gave it 5 stars this time.
