review 1: Enjoyed this. Its quite flight of ideas but was still easy enough to follow, and seemed to fit her personality. I didnt really know anything about her, I knew she was a singer but thats about it, but I got interested after I saw a couple of episodes of Celebrity Apprentice haha. Interesting and uplifting, I loved that her friends and family are in her music videos - like the awesomest home videos :)
review 2: This is very endearing. While I'm not *not* a fan of her music, I've also never been a huge follower and only own one CD. (Her greatest hits, natch.) I am, however, a big fan of her as a personality, and reading this gave me an even greater appreciation of what an amazing person she is. I had no idea what a big champion of women's rights, gay rights, an... mored just plain human rights in general she really is. But what I really related to was the constant feeling of being an outcast, of never quite fitting in. There are times reading this that I was moved to tears, and I can't quite explain why, except to say that I know what she means and I get what she's been through. I appreciate her tenacity to stand up for who she is, and the fact that she has never once made any effort to conform to anyone's standards. There is a lot of this book about her musical process, and her career as a whole, but to me this is what stands out and what her purpose of writing the book is: To be a beacon of hope to those who don't fit in, who feel like they're sort of a stranger in the world. And she does it well. less
