Review of 'Rat Girl' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This was the third female musician autobiography I read this year, and fell somewhere in the middle of the ratings. Covering slightly more than one turbulent year of her life, Kristin Hersh based the book on a diary she kept at the time. Powerful stuff, and slightly scattered. I really enjoyed reading her conversations with aging actress Betty Hutton and her descriptions of the recording studio process.
