Review:Redefining realness, engaged me both emotionally and intellectually. Janet Mock explores the complex intersections of her own identity in an honest and sensitive way that affects the reader at multiple levels. Her work can be read as a well-constructed counter-narrative, speaking back to stereotypical depictions of trans women of color. Read more

Review:I loved reading this. It was written by someone I've admired, and wanted to know more about. I love "celebrity autobiographies", and learning about the backgrounds of people who eventually built careers for themselves is always fascinating. This is a goodhearted man, with good common sense, and also a strong family and moral code. This is for anyone who is interested in Hollywood, and the back office goings on. Read more

Review:The book came in slightly damaged condition (only the paper covering of this hardcover) however none of that is really an issue for me.
The content within was basically a cliff note version of the predillictions and demis of many of hollywood actor/actress from the golden era. The photos make up the majorityt of this book which makes reading it much more exciting and interesting when you can put a face to the story behind the rise and fall of the subject in question.

The ship time is ... Read more

Review:This book is fabulous! I believe that most of the people who are bemoaning that this book is just a rehash of old stories are wrong. This book is not about the stories. It's about the notion that these narcissitic half-witted celebrities are totally devoid of values... oops, we are not allowed to talk about values. Read more

Review:This book delivers a salacious insight into the lives of many of our popular stars. It shows the human side of their lives that makes them no different from anyone else when it comes to finding ways of satisfying their carnal lusts and desires. Scotty merely sheds light on who people were outside of their celebrity. Read more

Review:Liked the last portion about his observations in the South during desegregation, and how he presented various viewpoints from different characters perspectives objectively. Gave a nuanced understanding of the feelings about race from the human experience vs the moral and political. Read more

Review:Angelica Huston's memoir is a delight. She writes of growing up in Ireland, England, and New York in the 60's and 70's. This is the 1st part, the 2nd coming out next fall. She writes well and you can live her moments with her. And I can only believe the next will be better with all the Hollywood dish of the 80's. Read more

Review:Disappointing. Huston has had many amazing experiences, but unfortunately they are told in the most superficial way. No meaning or insights are offered, even about the most profound experiences. Instead, we are given details about exactly what she wore, and when, and what other people were wearing, and how various auditions went, and what some famous director said to her, etc. A very shallow autobiography.

Review:Biographies cum Literary Criticism books can sometimes be dry but Begley's "Updike" reads like something from the New York Times bestselling fiction list. `Updike" is like Madmen on steroids. It briefly covers Updike's childhood in a small Pennsylvania town and then quickly moves into his Harvard years in the `50's and on to his work at the New Yorker Magazine and his best selling, award winning, (including two Pulitzer's) novel writing career. I've never been an Updike fan though his literar... Read more

Review:I was a bit disappointed, but have always loved watching Richard Chamberlain so just had to read this. The best thing is that he is a happy man and you can tell he worked to find & sustain his happiness. Read more
