Elton John's autobiography 'Me' - "outrageously enjoyable"
Share
"It quickly becomes clear in Me that few people are more suited to the celebrity autobiography genre, given that he combines the most essential ingredients of the form" - Guardian writes about Elton John's new autobiography, written with the help of music critic Alexis Petridis - who "has a journalist’s eye for the comically absurd, such as Elton’s predilection for sexual voyeurism competing with his innate tidiness, and he makes sure there is a laugh out loud moment on pretty much every other page". Still, it's John's work, and quite auto-ironic - "he makes fun of no one more than himself. He is utterly, astonishingly, hilariously self-lacerating".
