Story
For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

Let Love Rule is a work of deep reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with candor, self-scrutiny, and humor. Let Love Rule covers a vast canvas stretching from Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant, Los Angeles’ Baldwin Hills, Beverly Hills, and finally to France, England, and Germany. It’s the story of a wildly creative kid who, despite tough struggles at school and extreme tension at home, finds salvation in music. We see him grow as a musician and ultimately a master songwriter, producer, and performer.

Publisher's Summary
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a 10-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me.
This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.
Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.
Love,
Mariah

I laughed, cried, giggles and cried some more along the way with you Mariah Carey! This was everything and more for all of us Lambily. It tugged at my heart strings whenever you mentioned us (your fans), and how much you adored us. Now I'm going to listen to this entire book again while reading along with the book!! Hearing you read, and sing along the way felt like you were right there with me on the couch having a few splashes while you regaled me with your stories. gosh, what a feeling. THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for giving us this wonderful gift, YOU. we love you forever. -marian

Exceptional Writing of an Exceptional Story
This is a fantastic literary work of art that discusses some major themes in life. Race, identity, delicate family relationships, abuse and overcoming.
Mariah’s reading makes the experience very intimate and is necessary for this audio. It is her story, no one else could have read it and, sang it in parts, like her.
Whether for a fan or not, this is a very enjoyable and utterly fascinating material.

A Diva Defined
I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels less-than, lonely, not good enough, an outcast... (and many other adjectives). I especially enjoyed Mariah’s humility. As a lamb (die-hard Mariah fan) it’s wonderful to hear her be so open about things she never really expanded on previously. The audio version of this book is amazing. Mariah includes many a cappella moments of songs she’s preformed thousands of times and songs she had rarely or never performed live. I believe this book did everything that Mariah had intended it to do. I now know the meaning of Mariah Carey.

Entertaining glitz glam smoke and mirrors - not the whole story.
This is Mariah’s story - I wish she addressed her bipolar diagnosis in 2001 and her subsequent admission almost 20 years later so much seems missing because she leaves this part out. It feels like she’s denying a part of it and because of that I feel like I didn’t get to really know who this woman is - only who she wants us to be. She presents as a victim often. Most impressive is her commanding storytelling which is enveloping and immersive. The audio performance is relaxing and thrilling to hear her sing often as well as her moving reading of many emotionally heavy parts.

Mariah... we may have thought we knew her but until you have completed this book, you do not know her. The glitz and glam have covered up years of hurt and betrayal but with the help of good friends, her faith, family, and fans, Mariah overcome many obstacles. I’m proud to be a Lamb.

Holy Crap it's Really Her!
I can't believe she's reading it herself! I will own a physical copy but until it arrives I thought why not use a credit to have it on my phone 🤷♀️ I never thought it would be her actually reading it herself but boy what a surprise and a treat! No one holds a flame to Mariah and could never tell her story they way she would/ can /did! I feel like I have the best of both worlds, a tangible book to cherish and the author, & my favorite person of all time, reading it to me on the go!
This project was a long time coming and will crush all the little "unofficial" biographies I used to buy as a kid so I'm ready to have my wig snatched! Thank you God for small miracles in the midst of one of the globally agreed worst years of the century! 🙏❤🐑

It Was A Struggle To Finish
I honestly wanted to like this book. I've been a fan of hers for a long time. But it was a struggle. The story would jump from her childhood, to her relationship with Tommy Mottola, back to her childhood, then to 2001, etc. I had to check my phone to see if it was on shuffle.
Mariah also isn't the best at story telling. For someone with a five octave range, it was terribly monotone and deadpan.
If the book was chronologically in order and she had more life behind her storytelling? It would be five stars. But it's a 3 star at best.

The Emancipation of One Mariah Carey
Mariah The Carey, or Mimi as her closest friends call her delivers a gripping tale but not one of two cities. No, in fact, The Meaning of Mariah Carey takes you a journey of her most personal moments and her most public hour. She regales the life of a wayward biracial child who never knew how to fit in and perhaps never needed to fit in because she, was meant for far greater isles. From racists children to possessive manchilds, from having nothing and no one to having all she wanted for Christmas, this scared little girl just wanted to sing and be free to play in her musical sandbox. Mariah is at her most vulnerable and most POWERFUL as she unravels and upends all that we (well the media) thought they knew about who and what she is. In undergoing this road long travelled, you will gain a fair bit of acknowledgment, sympathy, and remorse of who she is but do not get it twisted, Mimi does not need your tears or pity. Afterall she's a born DIVA, an Aries Dahling! This book is a true gift to the Lambs (her fans) and even to those who may not have thought she had much depth and nuance behind that fiery persona; she's so much more! Mariah will undoubtedly go down as one of the Greatest Vocal legends of our time, eh of several decades. What's a decade again?

I haven’t finished yet, but this is beautifully written. If Mariah wasn’t a singer, I could definitely see her as an author.

Fragile, forte, talentueuse et humaine !
Mariah Carey nous livre une performance exceptionnelle après 30 ans d'une fabuleuse carrière. Oubliez les interviews, ragots, écoutez Mariah exprimer SA vision, ses souvenirs, cette force qui l'a conduite à tant de succès. Une artiste à part entière qui n'oublie pas d'où elle vient, et qui honore ses fans à chaque moment. Comme les chansons qu'elle écrit, ce livre inspire et même si l'on ne se sent pas proche de sa musique, avec ce livre, on ne peut que se rapprocher de l'artiste, de l'humain.

Worth the time
I recommend this book to all the fans obviously but also to anyone else.
it's really interesting and eye opening on Mariah's life and can change one's mind about her and her diva manners and made up character. She's a beautiful person whom had been through so much.
All the love to you Mariah xx.

Touchant, drôle et different
Mariah mélange des histoires de sa vie avec des extraits des chansons de l'époque. Trop beau. Si vous parlez pas couramment anglais n'ayez pas peur, elle parle clairement et le vocabulaire du livre n'est pas très compliqué.

Mimi for ever love
J'ai adoré ce livre. Entendre et écouter Mimi fut un plaisir pour moi même si je ne comprenais pas tout. J'ai adoré les passages chantés, et les différentes intonations. Un plaisir vraiment.

Des mémoires agréablement sincères
Alors que l'on pouvait craindre des mémoires langue de bois, Mariah Carey se livre avec sincérité sur son enfance d'enfant métisse dans une Amerique raciste, son accession à la gloire et la création de ses albums... Et révèle la femme touchante, remplie d'humour et l'artiste exigeante derrière son image de diva.

Fond et forme très intéressants
La lecture par l’artiste ajoute une véritable plus-value, notamment grâce aux multiples interventions musicales.
Mariah Carey fait le lien entre son histoire et ses chansons. Ces dernières gagnent en profondeur et jouissent d’une seconde vie. Merci !
