Janis Joplin was an eccentric, powerful and influential artist.
Her voice was very unique and distinctive. The books details Joplin’s life
before her fame, during and after. Janis Joplin is from Port Arthur, Texas, a
very ordinary town. The book also
documents Janis’ substance abuse, destructive behavior and death.
The book contains images of Joplin and quotes from her
friends and band members.
The suggested audience is 14 and up, but the content of book
is a little too graphic. The author, Angel,
mentions Joplin’s abortion and sexual encounters. I would recommend the book be for 16 – 18 years
old (high school sophomores through seniors).
