Publisher's Summary
"This captivating audiobook purports to be about the musical development of the multitalented Lenny Kravitz.... As he draws listeners into his world, however, listeners begin to see that he's talking about something broader than music: This deeply thoughtful man is talking about how his passion for learning and expressing himself was shaped." (AudioFile magazine)
"I see my story as a suite of songs that have a magical connection. I never understood that connection until I sat down to write. It was then that the magic started to flow."
Let Love Rule is a work of deep reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with candor, self-scrutiny, and humor.
“My life is all about opposites,” he writes. “Black and white. Jewish and Christian. The Jackson 5 and Led Zeppelin. I accepted my Gemini soul. I owned it. I adored it. Yins and yangs mingled in various parts of my heart and mind, giving me balance and fueling my curiosity and comfort."
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. We also see Lenny’s spiritual growth - and the powerful way in which spirit informs his music.
The cast of characters surrounding Lenny is extraordinary: his father, Sy, a high-powered news executive; his mother, Roxie Roker, a television star; and Lisa Bonet, the young actress who becomes his muse.
The central character, of course, is Lenny, who, despite his great aspirational energy, turns down record deal after record deal until he finds his true voice.
The creation of that voice, the same voice that is able to declare “Let Love Rule” to an international audience, is the very heart of this story.
"Whether recording, performing, or writing a book," says Lenny, "my art is about listening to the inspiration inside and then sharing it with people. Art must bring the world closer together."
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company

This book rules
I absolutely loved listening to this book, and specially because of the author’s smooth and sexy voice. As a child of the 70s, the pop culture references were so enjoyable. It was interesting to learn that, despite the financial and emotional resources he had, Kravitz struggled for years and years to gain the recognition his music so richly deserves. I look forward to see what the “to be continued” brings.

I LOVED it!
I loved it and I couldn't stop listening to it. I really enjoyed the musical parts in it. I looked forward to when I had a free minute to listen to the audio book. This book was very well written and thoughtful. I thought it was very interesting how he grew up with good values and beliefs. His life seems so interesting. I feel like I have dealt with a lot of the same things his mom dealt with and she sounds like a wonderful, inspirational woman who raised a phenomenal person. I felt I could relate to and understand Lenny. The way the book ended was satisfying. I look forward to the next book. I definitely recommend!
