Book Reviews of Kate Remembered
Book Review: A good selection of anecdotes spun skillfully into a humourous and affectionate song to the Great Kate
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Berg's rigor in recounting all the details of not just his encounters with his friend Kate but also the circumstances under which Ms Hepburn took on each performing role in her long career proved to be the quality I most appreciated in this biography.
I teared at the end of the story, not because of Ms Hepburn's death, but because the story resonated so sharply with the pain that everyone feels when dealing with Life; Mr. Berg's extraordinarily perceptive account of Ms Hepburn's experiences serves as a buoy for anyone who wishes to be inspired to rise above Life, instead of falling victim to it.
I have to agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Berg that Ms Hepburn is Romance: "dreamer, believer, adventurer, a prime example of women of spirit who remain true to themselves but manage to change and grow and give to another person"
Thank you Mr. Berg.
Book Review: Experience a personal side of our Great Kate!
Summary: 5 Stars
A. Scott Berg's book, "Kate Remembered" is a wonderful collection of stories chronicling his friendship with Katharine Hepburn from the early 80's until her death in 2003. There are moments in this book that one wouldn't get in another Katharine Hepburn biography (even her own, "Me: Stories of My Life") such as an impromptu dinner with Michael Jackson, Kate's views on other leading actors and actresses of the present time, and so many nuances into her character. It's a must read for any Hepburn fans. If you're looking for a more fact orientated book on Kate I'd suggest you read her own autobiography "Me" first. But this book has a much more personal feel to it, simply because the author is such a huge fan of Hepburn.Book Review: Good job of exploitation Mr Berg!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I came accross Scott Berg's book several years ago on the bargin table at Walmart. I should have left it there. Katharine Hepburn could not possibly be less than interesting, but I had to really work to finish this book. The book was more about the author and his agenda than the woman he called his friend. I found a man with a very big ego giving a less than flattering portrait of someone who he said was his friend. My impression of the author based on this book is that he was very good at exploiting his friend Katharine Hepburn. I hope I never have a friend like Scott Berg. Where I come from, friends protect and emphasize the positive qualities. For a loving look at Katherine Hepburn I would recommendAt Home with Kate: Growing up in Katharine Hepburn's Household It was written with love.Book Review: Kate Remembered
Summary: 4 Stars
Wonderful insights into the life of this fascinating woman! Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in the "Golden Age" of Hollywood.Book Review: Katte Lovingly Remembered
Summary: 5 Stars
A. Scott Berg is a wonderful writer. His very personal story of Katharine Hepburn as he knew her gives an inside view to her world. I didn't want the book to end.
