Customer Reviews

hmm

The book was an interesting read, especially on how the performers explained their interpretations of their most notable roles. Fairly light reading, but if you don't delve in with high expectations, you'll be fine.

Aw come on SBF, it's better than that

I gave this book five stars to up the average from SBF's cruelty as much as the math will allow. Yes, the book needed editing. The author twice puts the words "North Carolina" into Jennifer Larmore's mouth when any Atlanta native would have had to have said "South Carolina." Notwithstanding, the personalities of the singers come through, and that's worth the read.
