Book Reviews of Learning to Sing: Hearing the Music in Your Life
Book Review: Don't Care About Stardom? This Book is for You!
Summary: 5 Stars
Do NOT mistake Learning to Sing for some standard-issue ghost-written celebrity autobiography with all the content of a marshmallow. Neither should you discount singer Clay Aiken's life history because of his youth. Capably assisted by Alison Glock, Clay tells his story with his trademark wit and charm, and without a trace of ego or self-pity. Plenty of people would pity themselves if faced with the situations he has seen. Instead, Clay's heart, brains and faith led him into a career path he thought settled--teaching children with special needs--before the mother of one of his students encouraged him to enter a TV talent show, and his life changed forever. He is as honest, sometimes brutally so, about himself, his shortcomings and fears, as he is about the strange new world of pop superstardom he now lives in.
If you are a fan, read this book. If you just wonder what all the fuss over Clay Aiken is about, read this book. If you want to be moved by an uplifting story of human faith and spirit...well, you get the idea. This is one powerful book, and not to be missed!
Book Review: Clay Is The Best! Can't Wait For His Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot wait for Clay's book to come out in November. I am sure that it will be great. Until then I read the new "Clay Aiken: From Second Place to the Top of the Chart" ISBN# 1-58415-326-1 which has just been published and found it to be 160 pages of good reading. I also appreciated the 16 page color insert containing a collection of nice Clay candid photo shots. I would highly recommend this book also. Book Review: From what I've read, this will be amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read a couple of snippets from the book on-line. The short segments had me alternately laughing and reaching for the tissues. It had to have been allergies. I couldn't be brought to tears that easily, could I? The passages sound like Clay is sitting with you, chatting about his life. This isn't going to be a typical entertainment fluff piece. The man tackles the issues that combined to make him the person he is. I cannot wait to get the whole book in my hands. Don't bother phoning that day. I'm going to be b-u-s-y!
