Book Reviews of Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--and the Journey of a Generation
Book Review: 3 books in one
Summary: 4 Stars
I have purchased and listened to King/Mitchell/Simon records thousands of times and wondered about the lives of these women. I have read a few magazine articles about Carly Simon and seen a biography on Joni Mitchell. But I really never could imagine just what crazy exciting lives these women have lead. Each have gone through many different phases and this book does not skimp. Where many of the songs came from are explained. Exactly how did they come to create all this great music? What were they really like? This book does not disappoint. This is incredibly well researched and informative. All your questions about these three that could possibly be answered are. I found the criticisms of the book on this site to be unfounded or simply ridiculous. This is warts and all biography. A blow by blow retelling of each artists romantic life and childhoods as well as their professional life.
I decided to read the sections on Carole King first, then Joni, then Carly. Truly amazing human beings.
