Title: Aretha: These roots need a re-touch.
Review: I did not like this book. I regret spending one penny on it. I started reading it under the dryer at the beauty shop. It was so boring that I put it down. I hate to waste money so I forced myself to read it. (It took about a month.)Although she gives some lovely historcal accounts of the 60's & 70's, I bought this book to hear her "dish out the dirt" and "give me the 411". On too many occasions, Aretha leaves the reader hanging by refusing to name names. The book read more like a page from her diary than an autobiograhpy of a singer. I was especially let down near the closing of the book, the words to her sisters. She should have just written them a letter rather than waste print. I bought this book to learn more about Aretha. From reading this book, I gathered that Aretha is a man crazy singer who loves to eat and is afraid to fly.
Is the review positive or negative?
