The Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin is very talented — but he should stick to singing.<\/p>\n
Ricky Martin\u2019s \u201cMe\u201d is quite possibly the worst autobiography I\u2019ve ever read.<\/p>\n
I recently went through a phase of reading nothing but celebrity autobiographies, so I thought reading the book would be a good idea. Honestly, I only read about two-thirds of the book before I just couldn\u2019t go on anymore. The pages of Martin\u2019s autobiography consist of him overusing the phrase \u2018needless to say,\u2019 and not-so-subtly dropping celebrity names.<\/p>\n
One element of the book that really made me dislike \u201cMe\u201d was that Martin came off as a bit conceited. For one thing, the front and back covers are just large photographs of Martin attempting to seduce the reader.<\/p>\n
Secondly, Martin\u2019s tone of writing was very condescending, as if he\u2019s trying to tell the reader, \u201cYou will never be as famous as me,\u201d which made me go, \u201cShut up, Ricky Martin, you don\u2019t know me!\u201d several times throughout the book.<\/p>\n
I found Ricky Martin\u2019s \u201cMe\u201d in the Best-Seller section of the library, although I have no idea how it could ever be a best-seller, mostly because I cannot imagine anyone spending any amount of money on such a terrible waste of paper.<\/p>\n
I cannot say there was anything I truly enjoyed about Ricky Martin\u2019s \u201cMe.\u201d<\/p>\n
I truly hope Martin never condemns the world of literature to another train-wreck autobiography and just sticks to singing.<\/p>\n
