Me
To be honest I found this memoir a bit bland, especially when compared to the sexy vibrant energy that Ricky Martin manifests in his music and stage presence. As memoirs are usually written in the first person I expected an intimate connection with juicy secrets and insight to his fragility and also some wham bam in your face surprises, however this memoir really didn't get rolling or reach many climactic points. It could be, like another reviewer on this site suggested, that it may have
Me by Ricky Martin was a great book, a good book about his personal growth as a person. This was not a gossip book, a tell-all about his sexual exploits, or celebrity magazine. I know some did not like this book because it failed in not telling enough about himself. I think they wanted more of the above. This was about Ricky, the real Ricky. He even tells what his family and friends really call him but I had a audible version and I can't spell it. It wasn't Ricky. It goes into what makes him,
#1. Like every woman my age, I've had a crush on Ricky Martin since I was 16. My rating is colored by this experience. #2. This is a pop star biography, my expectations were set extremely low. #3. I picked it up for a lighthearted read at a time when I needed something extremely light to keep me distracted during a friend's funeral weekend.So, with those three things in mind, this turned out to be a surprisingly good book and not nearly as light as I was expecting.

I must admit that I gave in to my curiosity for his life story, specially after he announced he was gay. From the first page, he makes it pretty clear that if wanting to know juicy details about his homosexual life style was the reason to read his book, one might as well close it and walk away. That caught my attention. If that's not what's in it...what is? I mean, there's only so much that can be said about Menudo and Living la vida loca, right? Right.

Martin reveals almost nothing interesting about his life in this terribly-written book that sounds like it was penned by a middle school child with simplistic sentences that lack description or detail.

Instead he's vague about pretty much everything in life--the people he slept with, the jobs he had and the kind of person he is.

I loooved to read Ricky's book. I found it very inspiring and I really admire his career. I felt that the writing was at moments too deep and that he tried to cover so may topics under one chapter. I didn't care that much about that, I love what I read and felt like I was listening to his words coming directly from his heart.To be honest I found this memoir a bit bland, especially when compared to the sexy vibrant energy that Ricky Martin manifests in his music and stage presence.
