Love Dolly

I am not a country music fan, but I loved learning about Dollys life. So well written, always interesting. Love this book

*****A Country Superstar!*****

Put simply, I LOVE this book! I've just finished reading it for the second time and it's even better than it was the first time. I read it when it first came out in 1994 and was so jazzed to find it a few weeks ago in a used bookstore. I had a few other things to read before I picked up Dolly, but now that I have, I don't want it to end! I can't say enough good and great and amazing things about this biography. She wrote it herself and it's honest, down to earth and funny as all get out. Because of it, I even added some more Dolly Parton CD's to my music collection and it was a very much needed trip down memory lane. Thanks, Dolly, for such an amazing, revealing look at what makes you tick. Now, what I want to know is: when is your next book coming out. :)

Thanks very much, Dolly!

This book is really wonderful, I love all the parts about Dolly's childhood.This book is like a friend to you. Once you begin to read it, you can't put it down until you've finished at least three chapters.Dolly puts plenty of love, emotion and humor into this, and i have found it a terrific read.

Fascinating! Dolly is one class act.

This book is like sitting down with an old friend and having a nice long chat. I enjoyed hearing (I bought the audio version) Dolly tell her story. This book will warm your heart.

Dolly Parton is as good as it gets!

Dolly Parton has graced us with more tlalent than any other performer to walk the planet! Dolly has always showed that down home attitude while fighting Hollywood sharks and much of that is diplsyed in this book. Dolly's husband is revealed more openly than ever before as is her emotional side. You learn about many people that have been inspirational to her. NO GOSSIP though. That has good and bad points. This book is outstanding, it's only flaw is that Dolly didn't want to leave any friends out so she mentions all of them. BRIEFLY!!!
