NOT all that great!
I'm glad that I bought it, because I have loved the way, Piaf sang for a very long time...but, since she pressumably wrote this book herself, she tells things her way, & NOT all that much! SO, I would be interested in a Biogrphy written by somebody else, who really did the research, & told me everything there is to know about Piaf! I feel like I have found out, very little!

Piaf's own version of her life,
By
This review is from: The Wheel of Fortune: The Official Autobiography (Paperback)
Piaf understandably didn't want to rehash her horrific childhood and early life in this (and another) autobiography. Any international star would want to put the best gloss possible on abandonment by one's parents (both alcoholics), poverty, bad associates (pimps, thieves, and drug dealers), a flirt with a murder (Louis Laplee's), and her years as a child in a brothel (owned by her grandmother). But the reader does get a flavor of her own words and oeuvre. The best Piaf biography at present is David Bret's, detailed and highly readable.
