Cyndi Lauper writes her autobiography, Cyndi Lauper: A Memoir, in a tone that is straightforward and honest. She employs simple language that is poetic in nature, giving the book a relaxed, comfortable feel, and taken together with the first-person omniscient perspective, the book gains an informal and candid nature. As is true of her independent nature, the writing is no-holds barred, giving the informal and relaxed feel a sort of edge that dissociates it from melodramatic autobiographies. Because it is her life, her tone is unfailingly partisan to herself, though she does acknowledge her own mistakes and shortcomings.
