Surprisingly engaging. I feel like this book captures the Grace Slick I've known through the rock press for years, and adds some besides. There's nothing here for the non-fan, but for those of us who grew up with Slick, there's plenty. I wish she didn't hate her old-lady body so much, or so vocally, but it was all interesting. Not nearly enough photos, but lots of background info. Well worth a read if you love her music.
I didn't find much new or insightful in this semi-ghost-written and very patchy collection of reminiscences and random ideas.
Artist, singer, maybe-revolutionary .... not in this teeny bopper bio. Reads like the diary of a spoiled and over-sexed teen. I had so admired her singing, her longevity, her art - and so had reasonable hopes for this biography. Badly written, boring, trite, childish - even the sex (which dominates as a theme) portions read like some Cosmo tell-all article.
Grace - still admire you, am so sorry that this book doesn't do you justice
