Summary: 5 Stars
I know I'm quite late reading this book after it was first published but that's my stupidity as this book is one of the best I've ever read. Her style of writing didn't bother me at all as some have stated. I loved the way this book was wrote and I loved all her stories. I can see why someone would read it over and over it's wonderful. I just wish she had wrote more books. She was an amazing women!! How can you not respect, admire and be awed by her. I don't believe we will ever see another woman like her she was one of a kind. I'm quite sure I'll be re-reading this book in no time. THUMBS WAY WAY UP!!!Book Review: You could hear her voice!
Summary: 5 Stars
Katharine Hepburn was an amazing American actress and icon. Although you wouldn't think so reading this book, Kate doesn't think of what she does as anything to be ashamed of or boast about. I could still see her in the documentary after this book came out. She said Oscars are nice but they won't garden for you or something like that. She was a remarkable human being. I just have one criticism. She left out the Golden Pond but she also left a very nice page to her devoted platonic secretary, personal assistant and companion, Phyllis. I thought it was so touching that she wrote something so nice about her. It can kind of gives you goosebumps to the amazing person that she was. Sadly, she discovered her brother's dead body from a suicide. Her struggles as an actress and her relationship with the love of her life, Spencer Tracy, is also there for the audience. She clearly loved him so much and yet, they could teach today's celebrities a thing or two about being discreet but they were truly movie stars and gifted actors beyond my comprehension. Katharine, we miss you and this book provides us some of your voice.Book Review: You really get to know her when reading this book!
Summary: 4 Stars
I very much enjoyed reading this book!
I have always admired her as an actress, so I wanted to read about her life, in her own words. In reading this book, you definately realize that this book is written in her own words! It is written in a very casual, conversational way. You feel like you are just sitting in her living room with her and she is just having a real conversation with you, her friend!
She is very open and honest in the book. She shares thoughts about the important stories she remembers of her life. She reveals a lot of self reflective, personal insights, that frankly a lot of other movie star biographies do not. It is not filled with information about her professional life...listing all the movies and plays she was in. This book is not just about Kate the amazing actress, it is a lot more personal. In her old age, she has obviously done alot of self reflection, and in the book she is not afraid to admit her mistakes and failures. She is also proud of her self, her family, her life and her accomplishments, and lets us know all about her strengths. Reading this book made me realize that she was a very deep and interesting woman. I feel like I know her a lot better after reading this honest and insightful book.
Book Review: a wonderful and enthrawling read
Summary: 5 Stars
I felt like this book reflected Katharine Hepburn perfectly, it was honest, interesting and extremely funny(sometimes accidently). This would have to be the best biography I have ever read. What an exciting life she lead!
