Piece Of My Heart: A Portrait of Janis Joplin (Da Capo Paperback)

I had not read this one.

It was a difficult read as the writer's style was typical of the times of the subject. Lots of inside facts about Janis, her talent and her sadness. Not sorry I purchased the book, but you have to be able to pay attention to follow the author's writing style. I recommend the book.

I bought this book hoping to gain a little insight in Ms. Joplin and her life. the writer has no insight on the woman other than a drunken tour in 1970. I find my self skipping thru his 'philosophical BS, looking for snippets of meaningles conversations Janis had with randon bar patrons. UGH what a waste of money. highly NOT reccomended.

This was not at all what I thought it was going to be. This was someones account of what went on while traveling with Janis. Not very good.
