Helpful Score: 1

I love Janet Jackson. She and I are the same age and I remember her from when she got her public start in the entertainment business. When her album Control came out in the 80ties she was one hot product. I have always loved her music and films. She is such a private person in interviews and she reveals so little truth about herself. The book - True You - is not what I wanted to hear from Janet. The first "teaser" chapter is right along the lines of a great begining to the book I wanted to read. An autobiography. This - as she states - is not an autobiography. Sigh... It's thoughts on her struggles to find her True You - or true self. It includes stories and letters from other people and how she inspired them or how they inspired her to find her true self. The last section is just recipes...what a big disapointment. I really wanted to get to know Janet from this book. That did not happen.
