To be honest I found this memoir a bit bland, especially when compared to the sexy vibrant energy that Ricky Martin manifests in his music and stage presence. As memoirs are usually written in the first person I expected an intimate connection with juicy secrets and insight to his fragility and also some wham bam in your face surprises, however this memoir really didn't get rolling or reach many climactic points. It could be, like another reviewer on this site suggested, that it may haveI'm not a fan of his music, but for a book challenge, I needed to read two different autobiographies of musicians. Ricky Martin was one of the musicians I picked because his book was so short. I sometimes pick books because of page length, especially when doing book challenges.He comes across as a nice guy. Friends & family are important to him. The stories about the twins were my favorites.I did have a few problems with this. Ricky Martin is not a writer. He made sure he didn't offend
I don't know why I am writing in list form lately. Sorry for my lack of complete sentences. Things this book is:* Perspective on being a gay, Puerto Rican actor/entertainer/pop star (Mr. Martin is in a singular class in this regard)* The story of a childhood lived in the spotlight (he joined Menudo at age 12 & has never stopped being famous)* A self-help book or "it gets better" manifesto for Ricky Martin's past selves, especially those struggling with the social, economic, familial and
A friend handed me this book with this ringing endorsement, "This book sucks. Read it and tell me if you agree." Given the number of books on my to-read list, I don't usually waste my time reading books that others think so poorly of, but there is just something about Ricky Martin...plus, I assumed it would be a quick read. Martin wrote this autobiography as a sort of coming out - while written after his annoucement that he is gay, the introduction to the book seemed to suggest that the rest of
This is a book about paths taken, destiny determining the course of one's life, moments being just right, finding peace and serenity, and finally about coming to terms with oneself. It's about a Latin superstar who for years ran from the truth of himself until becoming a parent finally freed him to acknowledge his sexuality and to embrace fully his life.Ricky Martin has written a book that some will argue is a longtime coming and only done for publicity, but as he writes often throughout the
Me by Ricky Martin was a great book, a good book about his personal growth as a person. This was not a gossip book, a tell-all about his sexual exploits, or celebrity magazine. I know some did not like this book because it failed in not telling enough about himself. I think they wanted more of the above. This was about Ricky, the real Ricky. He even tells what his family and friends really call him but I had a audible version and I can't spell it. It wasn't Ricky. It goes into what makes him,
Ricky offers up a positive and philosophical approach to his life, coming out as a gay man and living as a single father. He reveals enough about his relationships with both men and women to discuss their impact in his life yet remains respectful to those he was involved with. A good book that could be helpful to a young person who might be struggling with his/her own sexual orientation with a positive spin on life, being yourself and living life to its fullest.
