This book is an autobiography of the life and short yet dynamic career of Janis Joplin. While it has many typical features of a nonfiction book (table of contents, timeline, index), it is far from ordinary. From the bright pink end pages, to the bright and whimsical details found on each page, this book captures the feeling of 60's rocker.
I really liked how this book went beyond the performer side of Joplin and dove into what shaped her into who she became as a young adult. This book is most appropriate for high school aged kids or adults. It could be used in a biography unit or it could be used to compare and contrast the lives of different types of artists or musicians from different eras.
