I loved it despite Ms. Blacks jumping around in her telling of her lifes event. But then again. maybe that is why I really love this book. Her jumping around is as if she is talking to you in person as opposed to writing about her life in a linear fashion.Although Im not into ska music. I learned a lot about its history and even went to YouTube to check out Pauline and her group The Selecter. This book is not only Ms. Blacks memoir but an historical look on racial and musical tensions in England during the 50s-70s; musical tensions between muscians and the music industry (MTV era) during the 80s and 90s; and what fascinated me the most. the sociological and emotional view of a mixed raced woman in England during that time. Pauline Black discusses her life fronting a male ska band. her life as an actor and how she felt being being adopted and being black and or mixed raced. It is a great read and will keep you enthralled.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy annieAwesome!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
