Captain Fantastic: Elton John's Stellar Trip Through the Seventies by Tom Doyle
4 stars
My love of Elton John's music was handed down by my mother, who listened to his songs often when I was a child. Now that he has written a memoir, I probably should have picked that up but since this was already on my Kindle, I went with that instead. I'm glad that I did. This is based on a number of interviews that the author did with Elton John for a magazine. It covers just the one decade but most of his well known songs were released during these years. I think that the singer comes off as funny, charming and self-effacing even during his most dramatic tantrums and I enjoyed this peak into his ascent into fame. I received a digital ARC of this book (a long time ago) through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
