Earth to Moon: A Memoir – by Moon Unit Zappa

Posted on November 2, 2024November 2, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

I didn’t even know Moon wrote a book, until my wife sent me a text about it. I was definitely intrigued as I know she is Frank Zappa’s older daughter, and I sort of figured because of that, she must’ve had an interesting life.

I will admit and tell you I gave this book two chances, the first, I just couldn’t get into it and the second a few days later, I dove in and plowed through it. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would as her life was a bit awkward and depressing. For one thing, she referred to her parents as Gail and Frank throughout the book, and another thing was a lot of people would visit the house and Frank would court the ladies. It also was a household where Frank was distant because of his music and Gail was trying to keep the house from falling down with everything on her plate.

I did enjoy her stories about her life, family, music, relationships, acting, and the struggles of being a “Zappa.” Yes, she did talk about Franks death, Gails death, her marriage, her child, and the legal issues of the Zappa Estate.

I skimmed the last few chapters of the book, as I was ready to be done reading it.
