Summary: Hemingway shares both her passion and her soul
Review: Being a fan of Ms. Hemingway's film work for several years I was pleased to learn that she had written her memoir. Ms. Hemingway's story of survival and discovery was both a thought provoking and moving read. She openly shares the blessing and the curse of her famous family ties and the lessons gained by years of living in emotional upheaval. The yoga metaphor used throughout the book works well and ties each chapter neatly together. All in all an inspiring autobiography by a very talented and strong woman.

Summary: Well worth reading
Review: Heartwarming insight into the experiences of one cool lady. I admit to following Mariel's (and Margaux') career since before "Lipstick" and I read the book in one session. Very touching, and Mariel really lays a lot of personal pain and joy bare for us to see. A great book for anyone juggling family problems, a difficult adolescence, food demons, and facing adversity. I sure hope the future is kind to Mariel and her family.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I loved this book! Mariel opens her heart to her readers and lays it all on the line. I identified with her and was able to learn some new methods for handling some areas of my life that parallel hers. This is a wonderful and sincere book! I hope that in the future she writes a book on yoga and that she writes another book where this one left off.

Summary: Interesting even if you're not into yoga
Review: Like the reader from Raynham, MA, I am not the slightest bit interested in yoga and skipped over those parts. But the other sections were worth reading -- especially the parts about her eating disorder! Before she got the implants, I always admired and envied Mariel's figure, especially the way she looked in Personal Best, and had assumed that she was just naturally athletic. I suppose I shouldn't have been shocked to learn that, like so many celebrities, she had to starve and endanger her health to look like that. And the stuff about her mixed-up family was very interesting, too -- though sad. I also enjoyed the stuff about Woody Allen.

Summary: Hemingway's memoir a smashing, searingly honest true story
Review: The most searingly, brutally honest book in a decade! Startling, informative, every page riviting! A 'must read" for any intelligent reader willing to learn from this ladies life and the lessons she has overcome!

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This is a show-biz "memoir" of the most terrifying kind ... badly written and leaving readers with two questions: "Why did she write it?" and "Why did I read it?" Hemingway uses the practices and lessons of yoga as a way of telling of her tales --- which, if you believe the hype, "is a searing honest memoir that is firmly practical." That's "firmly" as in the way Hemingway discusses her [breast] job, going so far to admit that whenever she met a friend, she'd lift up her shirt to give the bosom buddy a peek at her "prizes." Her chapter on the death of sis Margaux is an insult and embarrassment, shrouded in new-age babble such as "I gradually began to let go of Margaux's karma, realizing that her pain and problems were hers and not mine." And you wonder why Mariel has no career left.
