Negative Positive
Title: simply dreadful
Review: I preface this review the way I always do when I write about Aretha Franklin. I am a long time fan and admirer. Lord knows the Queen of Soul has a heck of a story to tell. What's disappointing is that she doesn't really tell it. This is lightweight, to say the very least. SO MUCH is left to speculate, Aretha is cagey about many events, many people. In other words, if you're not gonna write a warts and all autobiography, and leave yourself open to the world, to your FANS, who really want the details, then don't do one at all. The only impression this book left me with is the enormity of Aretha Franklin's self-importance, and utter self-righteousness. A much better book is "Queen of Soul."
Is the review positive or negative?
