The writing is mostly good, though it's clear she's sometimes out of her element in long-prose form. When the weakness shows, it's [passages when she devolves into a more conversational, informal tone with the writing. But this is a relatively minor quibble, as the story of her life is quite interesting. I wasn't terribly interested in her love-life, but how it fits into the larger context of her life-long mental health struggles made it quite relevant. And her recount of the back-story for most all of her songs is riveting.
4 bones!!!!
