The ending tried to make her come across as a soft caring woman which I find hard to believe. I still think of her as a harsh driven person. A good read though. Jan 20, Lisa rated it really liked it. I enjoyed the book. It gives a glimpse into the life of a woman that was tortured, complex, desperate and interesting. Her past drove her to be a success, but it also tortured and haunted at the same time affecting those around her.

I bought this at a used bookstore about 3 years ago and I finally read it - good general bio of Joan that came out BEFORE "Mommie Dearest" and it does mention how she was a horrible mother and probably never should have adopted kids so it confirmed to me that she really was an abusive mother. But she loved her dogs, so that counts. This book was much better than the book about MGM's leading ladies that I picked up at the same time.

But it was an enjoyable and quick read. View 2 comments. May 26, Violet rated it liked it Shelves: memoir-autobiography.
