review 1: Being familiar with David Foster's body of work, I don't consider some of the famous people mentioned as "name dropping". It wasn't an exaggeration that he has worked with those artists and have been somewhat involved with the success of their music. In fact, they have been widely acknowledged by some of artists themselves. I do admit that he does come across as arrogant in certain parts of his memoir, or maybe it's just confidence? Sometimes, the two are interchanged when highly successful people are concerned. I did find the book interesting. Being a music fan, I found it interesting getting a glimpse of the inner workings of the music industry and what was involved in making hit songs that most of us know today. What I also got from this book is that success isn'... moret all that's cut out to be, which was glaringly obvious with his failures as a husband/partner and father. One aspect that I didn't like is the jumbled stream of thought; he seems to jump from one stage of his life to years away. I get that he is trying to convey a certain life lesson, but It got confusing at times. Despite the negatives, I still found this book enjoyable and found David's life and accomplishments inspirational.
review 2: The best producer in the music business has written a memoir . Too bad his talent in the music industry did not transfer as well to paper. This comes across as a name dropping, love fest in which he is constantly beckoning the reader to acknowledge his accomplishments. The best part of this memoir is the last chapter , where he stops feeding his ego and talks openly about making it in the music industry.On the positive side he shares with us the valuable life lessons he has learned from various people which can be applied to everyday life. less

A good read but not my normal type of book. Life in the fast lane of popular music.
