I'm more into a fast-paced book but this seems good for those looking for a chill read, especially with the music and travel aspects. Thanks for a great review!

You raised thought-provoking questions in your summary of the book that makes one to be curious about the story. I would love to read the story, but the lack of established plot sounds discouraging. Awesome review.

Yes, it was very lighthearted - but not fast-paced indeed. Thank you for your comment!

The lack of an actual plot was actually a bit frustrating in my reading experience - I totally understand why you would want to skip this one. Thank you for your comment!

It sounds like a great biography. Too bad it's not my genre. Great review!
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

Memoirs can be tricky to write also because recounting only parts of one's life can make them disjointed. However, the other elements of the book seem interesting, particularly for readers who appreciate 1970s music and traveling. Thank you for your terrific review!
Ciao :)

Save for the poor plot development, the other qualities of the book make it as captivating as your review described it.
Thank you for the review.

I love the book already. Adolescents should read this book to know that it may be fun, but it's not always right. Thanks for a beautiful review.
