5.0 out of 5 stars My Personal Review for "My Own Story", November 15, 2007
I was lucky to have found the story, "Pavarotti: My Own Story" by Luciano Pavarotti himself. In an empty world since his passing, his booming personality and wonderful character fills this book with not only who the man was as a young child, but how gifted he was and how success never changed the inner man.

He loved his fans, his listeners, and until he died--he sang for them. Very seldom without a following of friends and co-singers surrounding him, he was a generous and kind individual, which echoes in every page of his book.

This is the book to read, if you truly want to understand Luciano himself. Other books are out there, but with other opinions, stories, hate-filled sarcasm, or untruths. We all have our opinion, but what better way to understand who he really was--than from his own lips.

This is a man who was loved passionately by the entire world, and honoring him by purchasing the book will not only benefit you but his memory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding His Amazing Persona, December 28, 2007
The whole world mourned over Luciano Pavarotti's death. It wasn't until then I read his book.

Though not a true autobiography in that many chapters are recollections and thoughts written by the tenor's friends and colleagues, really adds more depth into the the life of Mr. Pavarotti. It is extremly interesting to read the collections of some of his closest friends including his wife Adua and childhood friend and soprano Mirella Freni,among many others.

It covers his frustrating, early struggle with La Scala who initially wanted him only as an understudy.

Capturing many aspects of Pavarotti's life including his passion for painting and food, This is a delightful testimony of this very remarkable personality.

I recommend this strongly to his fans, to opera fans and even to people who like biographies.

5.0 out of 5 stars We miss him, July 11, 2009
I wish I would have read it sooner because after Pavarotti's passing, we can only miss him more. This book develops Pavarotti's passion through his words.
If one has wondered how this man with such a powerful voice, went from a small town in Italy to capture world opera, this is the read.
His concerts brought opera, pop music, and even classical vocals to a new level of public acceptance. His natural business sense and love for his followers are laid out chapter by chapter.
Read it while listening to one of his CDs and you will be carried away.
