You can really see how much they love each other, and how good their relationship has been for both of them. I'm still not sure I'll read the book, since I have a lot on my to-read list as it is, but I'm so glad to hear it's being well-received. This is one of the few celebrity memoirs that doesn't strike me as a desperate plea for attention.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14862498395141185996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-80649810248844309142011-01-07T02:12:32.866-05:002011-01-07T02:12:32.866-05:00Like you I usually steer clear of celebrity memoir...Like you I usually steer clear of celebrity memoirs but this one really does sound worth reading.<br /><br />I'm reading "The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf at the moment and she has a lot to say about celebrity culture and eating disorders.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-42005754966082301722011-01-06T21:44:40.689-05:002011-01-06T21:44:40.689-05:00I loved this one too Jamie, but I listened to it o...I loved this one too Jamie, but I listened to it on audio.

It's on my wish list and I might read it before the year is out. <br /><br />I actually just finished Michael Caine's memoir, which would make two celebrity memoirs for me this year - something I also always avoid. Still - I'm really drawn to both of them for some reason.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765818961868868617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-19389734392066658052011-01-06T11:31:38.904-05:002011-01-06T11:31:38.904-05:00This sounds really great!
