5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book, October 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lena (Mass Market Paperback)
LENA is an amazing account of this legendary singer's life, written in her own words. I had been searching for an autobiography of hers for months but never knew anything about her having one until I saw a post online stating that she had actually written one in 1965. The only book that kept showing up persistently in my searches was the one entitled "Stormy Weather", written sometime in the 90s. I was not impressed by the way the author made Lena to seem as some troubled and bitter woman who was ready to snap at any moment because of the difficulties of her life. Though i'm sure her past had proven itself to be challenging, especially as a black woman in those times, I knew that there was more to her than that. I was searching for words that no biographer could give me completely... and that's HER words and her REAL story. I'm pleased to say that reading this book is a joy. Lena is candid, honest, funny and fully aware of all the elements it took to get her to where she is and how she became the woman she ascended to. Any Lena Horne fan would be in pure bliss just knowing that they are hearing these accounts straight from this wonderful woman. Reading this book is like sitting down over tea and talking about life; the bumps, the bruises, the laughter, the dreams unfurled and everything else. I highly recommend this book. You'll love it.
