Review:This is a great, contemporary coming-out-story of a singer-songwriter and country western celebrity. Chely Wright's biography is beautifully written, deeply moving, and illustrates the pain many gays and lesbians experience when they are not accepted by their professional or personal communities.

Review:Craig Duswalt toured with Gun’s and Roses for several years as Axl Rose’s personal manager. He expertly spins the stories of all the famous people, the famous places and all the crazy shenanigans that go on when they were not on stage.

Review:Good behind the scenes information/stories of the Beatles, 1st person accounting of the creative process, relationships, quirks, etc. Sometimes a bit self-serving, but otherwise a very entertaining, insightful read. I learned a lot about my favorite band ever! Read more

Review:I'm seeing reviews that the tennis one is better, but I read that one and could not apply it to playing an instrument. There are practically no guides on the psychology of learning music. Thankfully, there's this great one. Read more
Review:Loved his stories, but his writing style was awful. Surprised the publisher released this as is and didn't suggest a ghostwriter. His stories are so amazing....but they way he tells them was so juvenile. Read more
Review:This book was slow boring and almost painful to read. There were a few interesting points. But no real insight granted the fact that Jay-Z did not participate is a factor but fawor all the people the people the writer interviewed I just expected more. I would not suggest reading this unless your looking for a substitute for sleeping pills Read more
Review:Action Bronson delivers with a book that's part recipies and part food culture, all through his eyes. It's brilliant to look at food the way Action does, from a perspective of natural curiosity, experience and respect. Action gets you excited about food and about cooking which should be the point of any good cook book but somehow most fall short, this book NOT being one of those. Read more
