laura joplin book

Condition: VERY GOOD.

Poor Laura Joplin. Why have I only now discovered her?What an incredible read. Pages are very yellowed. Laura's attempt to picture the sixties, the drugs, sex and rock and roll etc, is rather obsessive about the dangers of drugs (text book style) and not on the larger picture/philosophy/ideas that drugs was only a part of. I've read it multiple times, easily, about a bakers dozen or so in the least. May show signs of minor shelf wear and contain limited notes and highlighting. She is honest about her sister's rise and fall. Not a book I'd ever recommend for everyone - you had to have been alive during the 1960s and have a fascination with the SF music scene and the Summer of Love to read this.

Sadly, Laura describes Janis’ downfall at the height of her career due to the many drugs Janis consumed. However, Laura Joplin doesn't gloss over and romanticize her sister's life. Acceptable dust jacket. If I had to rate it specifically on the writing, it would get zero stars.

Laura shows that although drugs and alcohol entered her life in the 60s and ultimately ended it, that dimension shouldn't overshadow her talent, ambition, and thirst for life. I feel like im apart of her!

Her characterizations always go like this:I gave this three stars mostly because Janis Joplin is an interesting person, and this book, since it was written by her sister, has previously unpublished letters sent by Janis.

When reading it, I see deeper into the life of Janis then the media’s view of her rock star image. Laura Joplin does her best to make her parents sound warm and caring but it's a bit contrived.
