Summary: Bravery
Review: Georgia has taken her diary and opened it to the world. It is more than admirable that she place herself on the line like this. Anyone can write a story, but it takes guts to live and then expose it to everyone. Bless you Georgia for taking courage to share your story with others and for being so open. You ARE a TRUE INSPIRATION THANK YOU!

Summary: drawn out
Review: I have to smile when I read the review titles for this book. They must be the author's friends.
The book was less than okay. I had a hard time reading it. Alot of her stories were drawn out and could have been cut short. But it must have been a story she felt worthy to tell. It could have been written with half the pages. I also had a hard time feeling sorry for her.

Summary: Life Saving Book
Review: The book, The Company She Keeps, has literally saved my life. Throughout Georgia Durantes life she was constantly abused by men in her life and thats the part that kept me reading because i too have been abused for years. Not to say my abuse was as bad as hers but its all bad no matter how severe. I got to the point where i didn't want to live anymore because i felt like i didnt deserve too. I picked up the book where I work and took it home because it looked interesting. Ive read probably three books in my 23 years and i read hers in 3 days. I could not put it down!!!!! Her life story made me realize that i deserve to live and if i dont then my abusers win. Theres a lot more to this book than the abuse aspect put that part saved my life. Georgia Durante is a true inspiration to all women and i hope i grow up to be just like her. She is my angel.

Summary: The Company She Keeps by Georgia Durante is sensational!!!
Review: The Company She Keeps by Georgia Durante is nothing less than a masterpiece! The beautiful Durante captures that spectacular and startling inside feel of the real mob like no other before. She knows the story well because she lived it! Truly a eye-opening and heartfelt experience, which can only be compared to Henry Hill's "Award Winning" Goodfellas story. Durante is a survivor! She has lived the brutal life from which nightmares are created and escaped death. She has successfully beat all odds from a woman trapped and suffering in the life of the Mob, to Hollywood Stunt Car driver and International stardom. I highly recommend this book! It truly deserves the highest praise possible. Genuinely fascinating!!!

Summary: Inspiring Life Full Of Amazing Stories
Review: The Company She Keeps wound up being a lot more than I thought it was going to be. The cover made me think I was getting a look at life in The Mob from someone who was there. What I read was a story of a woman who was dealt a lot of rough hands but turned them into wins and lessons learned. It's amazing how Georgia Durante could suffer challenge after challenge and grow stronger through it all. So many others would just take the hits and fall down.When Georgia tells her story of what was in her life, she presents points and ideas that teach lessons to the reader today. You see things through her heart and eyes as she survives an abusive marriage. You feel yourself get stronger as you travel with her on her escape from her abuser. You realize that no matter how much someone tears you down you always have the power to rebuild your life. You cheer as Georgia shares the happy times of her life with her parents and her children. You get the urge to follow your own dreams as Georgia finds hers as a stunt driver in Hollywood. The Company She Keeps also shows how far we've come as a society in recognizing the problem of domestic violence. I don't want to be a spoiler, but you'll be shocked how the police used to deal with this matter. Georgia found out in a very real way. I've read and heard about so many so-called self help books that tell you how to get through the tough times and have a great life. Those authors greatest feats are stepping on a stage and talking. Georgia's greatest feat has been living her life, facing reality and sharing the paths she took so others can find theirs. The Company She Keeps is a book that will make a good person realize their true value and become an even greater person.

Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Review: The only reason I gave this book 3 stars is because amazon seems to not publish low ratings, and I deserve to be read, especially so I can warn all of you of this garbage of a book. All the reviews of this book are 5 stars, no doubt her and her friends because this book is pathetic. It is unreadable. Many people think their lives deserve a book to immortalize themselves; she is one of them. It is self-serving. BORING! The whole book is of her getting beat up by her boyfriend, cry us a river. She is an old washed up wanna-be "model" who is trying to hang on to something; youth or who knows what. I wish I could tell you how it ends, but I couldnt get that far.

Summary: A surpringly good read
Review: This book is about a life most of us will never know, except for what we see in the movies, but even the movies don't reveal the reality of this world. It's the kind of book that makes you stop reading and shake your head, shocked by the insights you've encountered. It informs our hearts as well as our minds of the complexities involved in a young woman's struggle to escape the grip of abuse (in many different forms) in search of a more peaceful and spiritual place in the world. The descriptive way in which Ms. Durante tells of her unbelievable life's adventures will tug at all of your emotions. The characters were so compelling I actually found myself rooting for the bad guys. This is a story of redemption and coming to terms with life. It teaches us how, through forgiveness, we can let go of the past and learn to live. A book well worth reading for both men and women. There is a lesson here for us all.
