Book Review: "I'M GOING TO BE ME,AND NOBODY ELSE.OR DIE FIGHTINGTO."
Summary: 5 Stars

Misunderstood,angry,and in pain from day one,Nancy had wanted to die early on.She had stated her wish by age 11,and even mapped out the when and how by age 16.Nancy was brilliant and clarvoiant(in a broader sense of the word)from the moment of her troubled birth.She was different.Taken together these two characteristics made her an outcast amongst the arrogant,ignorant masses,and the inanity of elementary,juinor,and SR. High school.Nancy knew she was meant for something more,and wasted no time setting out in search of it.This quickly landed her in a mental hospital by age 11.Then it was off to a mental hospital/school from 11 to 16 years old.From there she was finally set free but had already become far too damaged.Her behavior learned in the mental hospital got her arrested and kicked out of The University of Colorado before she even had a chance to make use of her brilliance.

This caused her such a great level of disappointment that she decided then and there that she was too different and too "weird" to ever have a chance.This is when she prophisised(sp?) her own future of fame,decadence and death.

I'm personally sad that I wasn't around then to have helped her.The world lost one of God's most precious and beautiful angels when Nancy bled to death on the bathroom floor of room 100 in the Chelsea Hotel in N.Y.

Her mother's portrayl of Nancy's life is,if nothing else,at least it's the most accurate.However,it is completely lacking any kind of empathy or understanding.Worse yet,being that this her own mother,the book also lacks sympathy.In all,there is much to be learned from Nancy's unfortunate life.

May you rest in peace,my beautiful angel...
