Customer Reviews

Highly recommend it

I loved this book. It is up there with three other of my favorite books "The Little Guide to Happiness", He's Just Not that into you", "He Never Called Again". If you are a fan of Clay Aiken you will love him more, if you're not a fan- you will be. I found "Learning To Sing", very inspirational and plan to share it with my friends. This book is uplifting, it's focus on human faith is what people need in the world today. This book will lift you're spirits. I will even buy a couple of them to give away as Christmas presents, that's how much I loved it.

Against All Odds...

I loved this book. It reminds us that many of the things that we go through as children and teenagers can be overcome as adults if we have the right positive attitude... and the right role model whoever that may be. I found "Learning To Sing" inspirational and plan to share it with my church and their library.

Don't Care About Stardom? This Book is for You!

Do NOT mistake Learning to Sing for some standard-issue ghost-written celebrity autobiography with all the content of a marshmallow. Neither should you discount singer Clay Aiken's life history because of his youth. Capably assisted by Alison Glock, Clay tells his story with his trademark wit and charm, and without a trace of ego or self-pity. Plenty of people would pity themselves if faced with the situations he has seen. Instead, Clay's heart, brains and faith led him into a career path he thought settled--teaching children with special needs--before the mother of one of his students encouraged him to enter a TV talent show, and his life changed forever. He is as honest, sometimes brutally so, about himself, his shortcomings and fears, as he is about the strange new world of pop superstardom he now lives in. If you are a fan, read this book. If you just wonder what all the fuss over Clay Aiken is about, read this book. If you want to be moved by an uplifting story of human faith and spirit...well, you get the idea. This is one powerful book, and not to be missed!
