Book Reviews of I Lived to Tell It All
Book Review: A Few Yawns but NO Sleeper!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book starts out very good, with little known details about George Jones and his family, and the writer makes the facts flow like a good fiction novel, rather then an autobiography, it really is. In the middle it starts to drag with the countless nights playing in bars and the stories about those nights seem to run into one another, so that it feels like all the bar "places" were one and the same. A few pages even made me fall asleep [lol] but once I awoke I plodded through them and it picked back up again, ending on a great autobiography about a man who's life is literally a rags to riches story all accomplished by the sweat of his own brow. George Jones is very much his OWN man, some helped open doors for him, but they did not assist him in his style and excellent song writing skills, determination and guts to succeed. George Jones very much made himself into who and what he was and is still today, a GREAT Country Music Icon, that NO ONE will ever be able to "fill his shoes". The saddest part was the story behind the demise of country great Lefty Frizzell, made me cry. My favorite part; His older sister Helen's husband, W.T. "Dub" Scroggins. A man you will immediately grow to love, as I did. The pictures are awesome too...OVER 16 pages of photos. A must read for all fans of Country Music and it's greatest singer ever; GEORGE JONES.
