IMO, hearing this in Dolly's own voice is well worth the loss of the photos, etc., you get with the dead-tree versions. (

This was a book club pick and I was just not able to finish it. It seemed choppy and read more like a very long and uninteresting interview. I adore Dolly and so this review makes me sad. If you want to delve into Dolly's life, I would recommend another biography. (

If you love Dolly this book is a 5. If you're looking for a compelling story arc this book is a 1. I am both. I LOVE Dolly. I enjoyed the book. I also would love to know more about her in-depth story. Having listened to her podcast I was eager to learn more about her life. I'm not sure this satisfied that desire but it's a start. Just be grateful we get even a slice of dolly and enjoy. (

Dolly Parton seems like the nicest, kindest person around. I just want to make sure that's known up front.

This book didn't especially impress me. It reads like a Wikipedia entry, a very nice Wiki entry. The stories and descriptions about her life - with one notable exception - are totally surface level. Her descriptions of people and her interactions with them - with one notable exception - are all compliments and platitudes. She hints at deeper levels, mentions health problems and psychological stress and general "tough times", but never tells us about them. This feels like a missed opportunity because, as RuPaul always says, it is your willingness to be honest and vulnerable that makes people fall in love with you.

Actually, this lack of depth and vulnerability makes me wonder who she considers the target audience for this book. Her fans will already know these stories, and people who aren't fans won't want to read through the hundreds of pages of song lyrics (least fun way to enjoy a song) only to get a Wiki-level knowledge of her as a person.

I can't bear to give less than 3 stars because she's so kindhearted. (

I freaking love Dolly Parton and I love her even more after reading this book! It is ALL about her music. She does not get political. She doesn't bash a single solitary person. She just shares her music, her love of family and her husband, the love of Country.

I loved learning things about Dolly I never knew. Like that she has a song called PMS Blues (no joke). "I Will Always Love You" was written as a result of her trying to break away from Porter Waggoner (her singing partner). Dolly also has written a song that is in a sealed box and won't be shared for years to come......

FABULOUS read I got to say. (
