Not so bad celeb memoir


Loretta Lynn
by Loretta Lynn, George Vecsey

Her voice, her true voice, shows on every page. This is her as she wanted to show herself, and she doesn't gloss over the bad times or embellish the good deeds--I don't think.  We all hide a little evildoing in our histories, so I won't insist on a biographer to come along and dig the dirt.  But she, as big and goodhearted as her 110-pound body will support, gets to tell her own story her way.  And I wouldn't have it any other way.

(If you're not already a Loretta Lynn fan, you probably don't need to read this. But I enjoyed it.)
