About book More Room In A Broken Heart: The True Adventures Of Carly Simon (2012)
I found this book at salvation army, I found the cover and photos to be beautiful!I quickly realized it was not Carly writing ,it was some guy,and how can he get away with this kind of book? Yes there was a lot of information about the albums and the songs and a lot to much imformation about stuff that is none of his business.The book had a lot of James Taylor in it and I did read it all,but in some way it feels wrong to go on about someone elses life and feelings......I think Carly Simon is a beautiful talented singer songwriter mother/grandmother,I have always been a big fan and am presently singing Hotcackes in the back of my mind! This was a rather long, but interesting book on tape. I must say that I really like Carly Simon's'Mockingbird" song, but I didn't know much about her other than her father was the Simon is Simon and Schuster Publishers. The book told in detail (a bit too much for me) of how every record was written and recorded, including all the musicians on each song. What was amazing was her many, many love affairs. I thought they might be as extensive as Wilt Chamberlain's for awhile. She comes from a very musical family (surprise!!) and plays "authoratative piano and exuberant, though uncomplicated guitar." Well documented book but TMI for me.

Had to read this - even though it isn't her authorized biography...

This is a good overview of Simon's career but without much insight
