Customer Review: Meat Loaf fan looking for more.....
Summary: 3 Stars
As I am an avid reader of biographies and memoirs and historical non fiction, I found this book disappointing. I found the beginning informative and interesting but got lost with out specific dates, times and places after the death of his mother. Meat Loaf does not tie in the meeting of his wife, relationship with her daughter and their child into his career. These items are self-contained in their own chapters. Also, I found the missing photo descriptions bothersome, lack of background on song writing and his elimination of long term goals or thoughts for the future disappointing. I wish Meat had spent more time describing the creation and evolution of his and Steinman's lyrics, as he did with some of the mixing and studio work. I have rated this book with three stars because of the nature of the stories, the courage it took to tell and to share and the fact the author is not a writer.
