Review:"Around the Way Girl" was my book club choice for the month of March. This was my first memoir and I was excited to read it. I love learning about and supporting people who know what they want and actually do what they need to do in order to achieve their goals. I am a firm believer that anyone can achieve their dreams if they believe in themselves and do the work. Some will have to do more work than others to achieve the same dreams and goals, that is just how life works but as long as you don'... Read more
Review:If you have ever seen Lindsey perform via Youtube or live in concert, this book provides a glimpse into her beginnings, her roots, and her passion. I have seen her live in concert three times in three cities and she never disappoints as a dancer, musician, or as an amazing human being full of drive, passion, and faith. A MUST READ! Read more

Review:I'm only like chapter 9 but I already wish there were more chapters. I love this book. It's really helping me to become a better person, more positive person. It's hard but I'm trying, thanks to LILLY (with 3 L's lol) but thank you for this book. I just hope I'm able to meet you one day so I can say thank you in person. ?? Read more
Review:Currently the top negative review states, "She start [sic] off as if her problems are the problems of all women."
As a reminder to this critic, the book is titled "Sex Object: A MEMOIR." This is one woman's life, although I can imagine a commonality to the very troubling issues discussed herein; I am a man, so will only ever know of most such issues through secondhand accounts. As at least half of my friends and colleagues are women, this book is not so eye-opening and confrontational to me a... Read more
Review:I can barely put this book down, it's so fascinating. Ironic though that I'm sucked in reading about people being productive, because after 20 minutes of browsing I certainly haven't achieved many of my own goals. I will say that it's the best bathroom reading book ever. Pick it up and flip through, read one or two rituals, and you're out of there. If at some point in the future I die and you're one of my biographers reading this, you totally have permission to say one of my rituals was reading ... Read more
Review:This book is a delight. Some of the criticisms listed here remark that the biography, though beautiful, is not informative enough, humorless, or even fundamentally dislikable. I disagree. I believe that Nabakov possessed enough skill and intent to write an autobiography in any tone or context he might choose; I therefore believe that the lens through which he shows us his youth has been carefully chosen and rendered. Dry accounts of facts and events in so many biographies make them a struggl... Read more
Review:I liked the way he integrated seemingly unrelated events in the first part of the book into his grieving for his late wife in the second part. Quite ingenious I thought. A touching book - very memorable. Read more
