“I don't think there's such a thing as an unbiased biography. This book is no exception. I gave it 5 out of 5 stars, but it's a hard book to love because reading was like watching a tragedy unfold. Janis Joplin's self-loathing literally bleeds from the pages. Friedman was Janis's publicist so this biography focuses most upon the details of her life as a rock star, from her first gig with Big Brother up until her death in 1969. ”
