great book. written from the soul. ( )

A REMINDER TO ALL: THIS REVIEW IS MY PERSONAL OPINION...IF YOU AGREE WITH IT..WONDERFUL...IF NOT...WELL, I GUESS WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON THINGS...THATS WHAT MAKES THIS WORLD SO WONDERFUL...WE ALL DONT HAVE TO THINK OR BELIEVE THE SAME...:0)

I enjoyed the book...I dont know what it is with some books..I will get bored right in the middle of it...Even if it's not really that boring...This one had some spots that made me skip a paragraph or two but in general, it was really good. I wouldn't call myself a FAN of Common, but I do like him and familiar with some of his music...I dont remember if Ive watched any of his movies but him as a person, Ive always had some respect for..And what I loved about this book is that he was honest about who he was and is...He lets people know that just because he has positive music, doesnt mean he's perfect and that every aspect of his life was always positive..But he does his best to walk a positive life as much as humanly possible...Like so many of us do...We fall, we mess up, but we get up, dust off and keep trying to do our best in the moment.

I liked how he started each chapter with a letter to someone...That to me, was a nice idea...But I think my favorite parts of the book were when his mother put in her side of some situations...This book opened my eyes on Common & one other person in the book that I also enjoy watching and listening to....But it doesnt change my opinion of them..Good bad or other...Common has given me new respect for him and his growth over his life...And just KNOWING that there are people out here that have gone through some things I've dealt with and gotten through it..You know people deal with things but sometimes, you can feel so alone until you talk to someone, hear a conversation, or read a book and really realize, ITS NOT JUST YOU! Thats PART of the reason I like reading Memoirs/Biographies, etc...It gives me a little insight on the people I like {and even some that I dont even know} and just helps me get through my own issues..And usually, it just gives me a whole new look on that person! :0) {okay, I know, I turned into about me! sorry..lol} ( )

Good biography, a little too much religious but an interesting memoir from Common ( )
