I'm a big fan of Carole King, especially after seeing the touring production of Beautiful. I didn't realize then that she'd written a memoir so I was super excited when I came across the audiobook.    More than a linear autobiography of Carole King's life, the book is more of a series of vignettes from different times in her life. Naturally, there is a large focus on her music career. Her narration is wonderful, interspersed with a few musical moments. She seems as genuinely down to earth as she appears in her music.    I certainly have a deeper appreciation for her music now knowing some of the stories behind the songs or the times they were written and recorded. An uplifting read!
