Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics by Dolly Parton
informative
reflective
slow-paced
3.0
This book is really a different format that is meant for more of a "coffee table" book. There isn't a real cohesive movement to the "plot". Instead it is small vignettes completed via interview with Dolly regarding her feelings and some background on certain songs throughout the progression of her career.
It's interesting bits of information, but the construction did really lead me to develop any continuous interest in the book as a whole. It's one I would consider more of one to look at in snippets or something of a collector's item.
Also...just a note: Dolly pretty much says every song is "a favorite" or one she really loves. It gets a bit repetitive and kind of takes away from understanding the true depth of how she feels about pieces of her career in lyrics.
